Episode 3
Routine. Status quo. Fixed obsessions with societal norms and customs? Are those things that we cling to in the face of utter madness, chaos, the real opiates of the masses? What do you cleave to maintain some sense of control, normalcy, when all else is in ruins? Is the very act of maintaining a status quo , rebellion or cowardice?
In today’s episode we will discuss the New York Times Bestseller A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. This is the story of Count Alexander Rostov, a Russian noble sentenced to life confinement in the Metropol, a hotel for Moscow’s and the world’s elite, for crimes against the Revolution. It is a beautifully told character-driven story of his existence for over 30 years behind its walls.
