Finishing this book at the beginning of my day was a mistake, I could cry. I won't say too much as this is a little over 100 pages, but the story follows a man who ends up in hell. His version of hell is the library of babel, and he must find his life story amongst the stacks in order to get to heaven. It was fascinating and scary. Reminding me a little of The Good Place mixed with I Who Have Never Known Men, just that endless searching for something. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
