Synopsis

As a faithful Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he'll be reunited with his loved ones in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life. In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.

An ordinary family man, geologist, and Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he’ll be reunited with his loved ones after death in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies.

Présentation de l'éditeur

How long is eternity? In a hell designed from a Jorge Borges story and constructed by a God he hads never heard of, a damned man struggles to find meaning in a library, the dimensions of which are measured in light years. What does it mean to live forever? Is there any meaning in an existence that never ends?
