@rachsyme asked about best books in hotels and I remembered I pitched The Pink Hotel as Kay Thompson’s Eloise meets J.G Ballard’s High-rise https://t.co/DFOx6yG6wQ

Schweblin is never explicit. Any implied creepiness is a product of the reader’s own imagination ... Scarier than any fall horror movie...is the knowledge that the various assemblages of our lives are merely delicate scaffolding, liable to come crashing down at any moment.

Forgot to mention that Kit Collins in THE PINK HOTEL is named after Kit Moresby in THE SHELTERING SKY, a book I read early on when I was looking at marriages in literature (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD was another)❤️‍🔥

“The Pink Hotel is by turns a love story, a social satire, an elegy for the planet, a farewell to the glamour of Old Hollywood, and, above all, a morality tale.” I adore this review of THE PINK HOTEL. I feel seen. #rootforthemonkey ❤️‍🔥 https://t.co/P9wCh5OebG
