" Fantastic. I love Borges, and I enjoyed Peck's "The Scholar of Moab," so I went in with high expectations for this novella about a man's experience in the library hell created by Borges in "The Library of Babel."

High expectations met, and even ex... "

“It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone when there are no dreams to build? No purpose to accomplish? No meaning? No meaning —that was the monster that drove us away from one another in the end. Always.”
Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell

“Strange, how a moment of existence can cut so deeply into our being that while ages pass unnoticed, a brief love can structure and define the very topology of our consciousness ever after.”
Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell

“Remember you are never really alone. Although it may feel like it for very long stretches of time.”
Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell
