After 20 years of marriage, Maria decides to leave her husband. She moves into room 212 at the hotel across the street, with a bird’s-eye view of her apartment, her husband and the life she shared with him. While she wonders if she made the right decision, many of the people in her life offer their opinions on the matter. They intend to let her know, whether she likes it or not, on what proves to be a life-changing evening.

The emergence reading

In On a Magical Night, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “night museum”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing history, obsolescence, identity, institution, magic.
