What They're Saying about Hotel Adios

10/26/2020

From those who have read it.

"Hôtel Adiós has all manner of tweaks and quirks that keep the reader at times off-kilter, puzzled, and delighted. It is both absurd and dripping with true insights . . . Wiebe treats the page like a playground, a stage, and a soapbox from which to shout his wild notions."
--Julie Miesionczek, Independent Editor, formerly with Random House.

"With my delight and admiration."
--Paul Harding, author of Tinkers, winner of a Pulitzer Prize in fiction.

Mr. Ennis remains active despite his wife’s decision to follow his instructions to cremate him after his death; though his brain now shares the ashen state of his former body, it is still able to function—read, write, talk, go to movies and an occasional play, concert, opera, etc.—all with the aid of his non-deceased companion, Ms. Betsy Bedwell.

Endorsement for POTUS

10/13/2020

After much deliberation concerning the weighty question of the candidate I wish to support to become the next the President of these United States of American, I have chosen to endorse Mr. Ab Ennis of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

Mr. Ennis escaped Russia in 1906 at the age of twenty-one to seek his fortune in America and to avoid the Czar’s draft.

He learned English from reading girlie magazines. His literary tastes took a turn for the better while reading Lolita, the masterpiece of his fellow Russian emigré Vladimir Nabokov. This experience taught him that erotica is compatible with fancy prose.

Either through shyness or a wish to keep his moral reputation impeccable, he kept many of his book reviews and other scribblings in a shoebox, which he stashed behind a secret still in his landlady’s attic. He has spent a lifetime working on a Tolstoy-sized novel on post-Revolutionary Russia entitled Nyet! This unfinished manuscript was discovered by an anonymous editor, who, with a grant from the National Endowment for Dead Book Reviewers, is currently translating the book from Russian into Yiddish. It is due for publication in 2020.

Ennis was posthumously awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2002, though the news of this honor has been kept from the American public by the influential New York publishing establishment. This slight of Mr. Ennis, whose work is well-known in Europe, is considered by several reputable experts to be a major cause of the rift between America and the Continent.

More on this candidate, his political party, and his running mate, in subsequent blogs.
