The Great Divorce, by C.S. Lewis
How on earth could I have forgotten the brilliance of dear Jack? My love for (and envy of) his command of language? The way he articulates belief? His sheer imagination? So glad am I to have been reintroduced!
I read this today. A) It is that brief, and B) it is that good. Lewis wrote this little piece - obviously reminiscent of Dante's Inferno - as an allegory describing Heaven and Hell, in order to counter the idea of universalism. The theme is direct, but whether or not you agree with his theology, this book is worth the read for the issues it raises, and his gorgeous descriptions.
Please read! You won't be sorry!
