Hotel Raphael by Rachael Boast Vidyan Ravinthiran mining radical and anarchic historiesHotel Raphael, Rachael Boasts fourth collection, charts a journey through heat, drought and pain, and describes not only the reality of chronic illness, but living with it at a time of global crisis. Raphael is the patron saint of travellers and pilgrims, and also of healing; in the search for remedy, we pass through the balm of landscape, and brush against the worlds of artists, writers and filmmakers, whose angels broadcast to us from other rooms.
