This hotel near a former psychiatric institution isn't a metaphorit's a functional absurdity. Guests may encounter toasters that refuse to toast without childhood memories, silence that hides stolen hearing, or a concierge who stops time at the peak of a flavor. A magician arrives in search of real levitation, and a shape-shifting being tries to stay useful while coughing himself into different furniture.
At its heart, the book is a kaleidoscope of magical absurdism. Through short, connected stories, we meet guests and staff navigating themes of manipulation, healing, aging, and perception. The hotel becomes a character itself, gently pushing people toward understanding, and sometimes resistance.
Though the stories are strange, their emotions are deeply familiar: regret, hope, laughter, and the desire to be seen. The tone is whimsical but grounded, the magic quiet but persistent.
Like its predecessor, "Hotel 4th km." straddles absurdist fiction, speculative literature, and poetic satire. Fans of "The Mezzanine", "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency", or "The Manual of Saint Germain-des-Prés" will find a similarly gentle surrealism here.
