Hotel Lux: An Intimate History of Communism's Forgotten Radicals
The extraordinary story of a group of forgotten radicals who found themselves drawn to communist Moscow's hotbed of international revolutionary activity: the Hotel Lux. Hotel Lux follows Irish radical May O'Callaghan and her friends, three revolutionary families brought together by their vision for a communist future and their time spent in the Comintern's Moscow living quarters, the Hotel Lux. Historian Maurice Casey reveals the connections and disconnections of a group of forgotten communist activists whose lives collided in 1920s Moscow: a brilliant Irish translator, a maverick author, the rebel daughters of an East London Jewish family, and a family of determined German anti-fascists. The dramatic and interlocking histories of the O'Flahertys, Cohens and Leonhards offer an intimate insight into the legacies of the Russian Revolution from its earliest idealism through to the brutal Stalinist purges and beyond. Hotel Lux uncovers a world of forgotten radicals who saw their hopes and dreams crash against reality yet retained their faith in a beautiful future for all. Culminating in a queer love story that saw the daughters of the Cohens and Leonhards create an enduring partnership even as their parents' political visions crumbled, this is a multi-generational rebel odyssey and a history of international communism, one which looks as much to the future as it does to the past. -

The two men are fatefully drawn to one another, but their secret affair is discovered by the city's richest sociopath Belasco Snopes who sets out to ruin them. A finale courtroom scene set in the city's Old Courthouse catapults the story to its blood curdling conclusion.Hess's novel is "a cunning mix of lyricism and grit. A triumphant and beautifully-written historical novel." - Joe Okonkwo, Jazz MoonWith a new interview with the author by Amy Dupcak."Hess (Skyscraper, 2016, etc.) returns with a dark thriller set in late 19th-century St. Louis... lyrical, gritty read with a compelling young protagonist." -Kirkus Reviews"Triumph...Set in the summer of 1891, this captivating novel, complete with tasteful homoerotic themes, is immersive and tactile. The sweat lingers from the stifling heat, you smell the lush gardens and you feel the mud of the Mississippi between your toes." - Chris Andoe, Riverfront Times"River Runs Red is a cunning mix of lyricism and grit. A triumphant and beautifully-written historical novel." Joe Okonkwo, Jazz Moon"Hess has written another gritty, steamy (in all senses of the word), and atmospheric historical novel. He travels effortlessly from high society parlors to the shacks of the river drabs..It may be a short novel, but it packs a punch, like a river rat boxer. And like the Mississippi, the short chapters of River Runs Red lap at your ankles, but before you know it, the riptide of the story has drawn you in, and then there's no way to resist the current of this narrative." - Out In Print
