l'autre
Tout n’est pas toujours très clair. Mais il arrive que, même dans la nuit noire, on finisse par voir, ou toucher, quelque chose. Encore faut-il traverser l’obscurité. C’est le chemin proposé. Quitte à ne pas y parvenir ensemble. Des feux d’une projection cannoise des frères Larrieu (Peindre ou faire l’amour, on aura vite saisi que ce titre sous-titre notre fable) aux représentations théâtrales plus austères d’un Pavese monté par les Straub en Italie, c’est une route. C’est celle, cheminement modeste mais déclaré, du travail. D’un hôtel, ***l’autre***. D’un cadrage, ***l’autre***. C’est celle, aussi, du goût, de l’art et de sa diversité. Mais il y a d’autres routes encore.
I don't really understand what is meant in those two sentences with "l'autre". Please help!

Maybe : from one hotel to the next (without the one at the end) is better.

Voir, à ce sujet, le roman de Céline: D'un château l'autre. Excellent, si l'on aime M. Destouches.

Susan Nicholls
: Yes, I prefer this because there is a rep of "autre" in the next line (autres routes encore) which maybe should be kept given the resonances of this term in French intellectual speak.
