A Short Stay In Hell by Steven L. Peck











Started: 12.3.26

Finished: 13.3.36

Paperback

TBR Prompt: Five words in the title


This is a short (104 pages) novella about a man who finds himself in a version of Hell which is a library of unfathomable size. He can only escape if he finds a book of the story of his life, but the library contains every book that has ever been written, and that ever could be written, so it becomes clear that this is an impossible task. The novella certainly raises a lot of philosophical and existential questions, but the answers are probably too far beyond the reach of my little brain though.
