Hotel Adios: Slouching towards the White House - E-book - ePub

Talia la Musa, daughter of former Christian missionaries to Iran, gathers a small flock of oddballs to join her recently formed Kachina Round Table (KRT) in her recently "inherited" hotel in Small Southwestern City. The KRT consists of herself; an illicit son of a semi-famous Irish novelist; a grandson of the more-famous Author Unknown; a Russian immigrant; and a hillbilly columnist who advises his readers on how to beg off from any number of situations.
After writing a spate of maniacal columns, the KRT inaugurates a American political party, the Dead Rights Party (DRiP), which boasts that its main plank is to establish voting rights for deceased ex-citizens and talking parrots over the age of 18. The DRiP then runs two members of the KRT for POTUS and VPOTUS, with surprising results. In the end, Talia, on the lam after a court finds her guilty of finagling the ownership of her hotel, plots a new religion in which the goal of life will be to avoid both hell and heaven and find happiness in a third option.
