“The two turned with satisfaction to watch the rosy beams of sunrise brighten the still smouldering drapes” 

‘Sacred Hospitality’ is a short satirical story tacked onto the end of my edition of ‘The Atlas Six’ which follows the cast of the six Medeans each at some form of dinner that plays on ancient greek traditions of hospitality. Blake provides an insight into each of their lives before the events of the main book but honestly the story really offered nothing, it was not witty nor revealed anything noteworthy or really any major comments on hospitality from the author herself. It just felt like something that didn’t need to particularly be written which comes across much harsher than I mean it to but it really just feels a lot like the filler centre that makes up ‘The Atlas Six’.
