The Adventure
by Frederick Pollack
The Adventure is an afterlife voyage like The Divine Comedy. Dante had the law of symbolic retribution and distinct places to put people. The Adventure has neither. If you seek a guiding principle, it's more or less this: whoever you are, what you'll get is—exactly and in detail—what you want.
