Sven Holm's \u003ci\u003eTermush\u003c\/i\u003e is a searing and prophetic study of humanity forced into a moral bind through its own doing. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTermush caters to every need of its wealthy patrons--first among them, a coveted spot at this exclusive seaside getaway, a resort designed for the end of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryone within its walls has been promised full protection from the aftereffects of \"the disaster.\" The staff work behind the scenes to create a calming and frictionless mood; they pipe soothing music into the halls and quickly remove the dead birds that fall out of the sky. But the specter of death remains. Recon teams come and go in protective gear. Fear of contamination spreads as the hotel cautiously welcomes survivors only to then censor news of their arrival. As the days pass, the veneer of control begins to crack, and it becomes clear that the residents of Termush can insulate themselves from neither the physical effects of the cataclysm nor the moral fallout of using their wealth to separate themselves from the fate of those trapped outside.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSven Holm\u003c\/b\u003e (1940-2019) was a celebrated Danish author and playwright.
