    About this ebook

    Over a period of years, experimental filmmaker Robert David Duncan began building a set of interlinked film stories that scoped out an imaginary story world called Spinoza Hotel. The hotel was home to great spirits, living and dead who enjoy time together in a place where they all finally belong. Enjoy this collection of some of the verse and spoken word that these mystical residents shared about their existence.
