Esze Dóra - Hotel Hamlet

On the coast of Elsinore, in the busiest hotel of the city, Hotel Elsinore, one day CEO Forvastinbras announces an unexpected change: Hamlet, the unconventional managing director, will now be replaced by the servile, incompetent Claudius. He is soon joined by the foolish and utilitarian, though well-intentioned Polonius, and the infinitely characterless, sleazy Osrick.
The novel's narrator, Jan, has been a receptionist at the Elsinore for thirteen years. He has a cumulative disadvantage: he lives with a physical disability, is homosexual, and has been an orphan since the age of eleven. He is by no means a broken man, he does not see his fate as unfortunate, which is probably why he became indispensable in Hamlet's team, or on the contrary, the years spent in Elsinore honed his personality. Jan lives with her sister, Philippa, and her boyfriend, Stellan, whom she considered her husband almost from the first minute. Stellan is a social worker in a prison, from where he often delivers stories to Jan, who has been writing since childhood, and the rest of the stories come from Philippa through Stellan. The car accident - in which the parents died and Jan was injured - deprived the brothers of storytelling as a bond. Since Stellan is a kind of unwritten older brother and guardian, Jan largely understands the important components of his own rich spiritual life through him: Philippa's emotional past, Stellan's remarkable criminal mentors, Philippa's and Stellan's dominant-submissive sexuality, Stellan's adoration of life in polyamory.
For almost two years, Jant and his colleagues have been kept in their place by the deep sense of justice and irrational loyalty characteristic of Hamlet.
The final straw comes when it becomes clear that their workplace will one day be bought by the Norwegian casino mafia. No matter how maturely they process the fact that nothing is the same without Hamlet, the separation shakes them cathartically. Claudius and his henchmen know no bounds in unprincipled repayment, but they have no luck with the Norwegians, their power ends here. However, the novel is not.
