A Short Stay in Hell - A Taste of the Afterlife, Book Review
Episode description
We read A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck! A haunting existential novella in which our protagonist, Soren, spends a brief eternity in the afterlife searching for the story of his life.
In this book review episode Travis and Jamie get together once again to discuss the meaning of life, the true punishment of hell, finding meaning in the meaningless, and where you can find the Reading Glasses Book Club book in the Library of Babel!
And of course we had an extended discussion about what foods we would order from the kiosk with during our eons of culinary experimentations!
Drink Recipe:
Just ask the kiosk in Hell for an Afterlife cocktail. It will know what to do.
Or if you want to make one for yourself in this lifetime:
- 1.5 oz tequila
- 0.5 oz Creme de Cassis
- 0.5 oz lime juice
- Bundaberg Ginger Beer
- Mix it up real good and try not to think about your inevitable death and the possibly of an infinite search for meaning without meaning
