| Abstract: | It’s an old idea that the gods envy humans their mortality, with all its
possibilities of ecstasy and intense experience. Donald Denoon plays with this
idea in his novel "Afterlife", subtitled "A Divine Comedy".
"Afterlife" is a genial, philosophical book. The hero, Geoffrey Kingston,
dies and goes to heaven. Both these facts are unexpected: he is in the prime of
life, and his conduct hasn’t been such that he expected to end up in heaven. But
then, he didn’t think that heaven existed. |
