Lew at the Hotel Esthonia where you can check in but must check out changed

[Mark Kohut]

p. 39.....he must reveal very intimate stuff.....confess all............

Or be subject to criminal penalties.............

Like Confession (first part) in Christian and Orthodox tradition? 

Or like a kindly-enough [but for the threat] Brave New World-like interrogation hotel? 


Read page 40 about the "loosely dangling wires" ....refuse-lined corridors....iron ladders.....reboarding the fiendish conveyance [the elevatof car] at times travelling not even vertically...........

I get a big echo of the fall of that Crystal Palace scene in GR, you?
