Read it in 1981. It was unique, disturbing, erotic, violent, and I literally recalled one of its scenes last week.

I never understood why his prominence dissipated in the decades since The White Hotel, and his legacy faded, nearly everywhere.

The main reason anybody remembers The White Hotel was because of the plagiarism scandal around it. He never lived that down.

Most of the discussion about it I'm getting links for now on Google is in academic papers I can't read for free. Just searching "the white hotel plagiarism" will give you some idea of what the issues were.
