Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Heartbreak Hotel describes a mature identitarian society set in the
latter part of the 21st Century in the Pacific Northwest of North
America (New Columbia). It focuses on the administration of the
immigration portion of the population policy, by recounting the
experiences of a lawyer who takes a job with a commission that
decides whether people married or engaged to New Columbians should
be permitted to immigrate, and, consequently, nicknamed Heartbreak
Hotel. Heartbreak Hotel also considers the process from the
perspective of a Cuban applicant and his New Columbian fianc e.
Heartbreak Hotel describes how the commission makes its decisions
and contains numerous suggestions about how an identarian society
should organize itself with respect to religion, electoral
suffrage, classes of citizenship, eugenics, and forms of
government. Readers may agree or disagree with how New Columbia is
organized, but they cannot remain indifferent to the questions
raised by Heartbreak Hotel.
