Marks is a science fiction novel written during the early 1950s. The book centers around the character Sextus Rollo Forsyte, a hotel manager whose life takes a wild turn as he takes charge of the Mahoney-Plaza, a hotel that seems to operate under bizarre circumstances. The story explores themes of identity, reality, and time, blending elements of humor with a speculative twist. In the narrative, Forsyte, looking for anonymity and a fresh start, unexpectedly acquires a prestigious managerial role at the Mahoney-Plaza. Upon arriving, he quickly realizes that the hotel operates under an unconventional setup that involves hyperspace and a significant number of guests accommodated in a limited physical space through time manipulation. As he grapples with bizarre occurrences—such as guests appearing in the wrong rooms and erratic staff behavior—he discovers that the hotel's operations are more chaotic than he ever anticipated. Caught in a surreal situation that spirals into historical implications when he mistakenly opens a window, Forsyte’s journey is both a comedic misadventure and a profound exploration of the nature of reality and existence. The story culminates in a striking twist that lands him unexpectedly in the future, forcing him to confront the consequences of his actions and the absurdity of his life.
