#252 – The Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart (with Kate Hergott of Bookwild)

Tune in as Kate Hergott (Bookwild) circles back around to the program in order to explore The Paradox Hotel, the 2022 sci-fi mystery-thriller novel by Rob Hart that follows an ill and grief-stricken head of security for a luxury time-travel hotel, which becomes the site for a bloody corpse that’s present and yet isn’t at the same time. The cheerful sort of nihilism, sympathizing with January in all of her complicated facets, and the capitalistic evils of corporate and government forces provide some of the talking points for this episode.TW: death, murder, chronic illness, grief, drug use/drug abuse, violence, gun violence, animal death, racism, suicide attempt (in the past), suicidal ideation, self-harm, child neglect (in the past), homophobia, transphobia, vomit, and alcoholSpoilers start at 13:00Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Kate: The Hospital at the End of the World by Justin C.
