The Hurtle of Hell
The Hurtle of Hell: An Atheist Comedy Featuring God and a Confused Young Man from Hackney | Simon Edge
1 post | 1 read
When gay, pleasure-seeking Stefano Cartwright is almost killed by a wave while at the beach, his journey up a tunnel of light convinces him that God exists after all, and he may need to change his ways if he is not to end up in hell. When God happens to look down his celestial telescope and see Stefano, he is obliged to pay unprecedented attention to an obscure planet in a distant galaxy, and ends up on the greatest adventure of his multi-eon existence. The Hurtle of Hell combines a tender, human story of rejection and reconnection with an utterly original and often very funny theological thought-experiment, in an entrancing fable that is both mischievous and big-hearted.

After a near-death experience in which Stefano Cartwright sees the eye of God watching him, he starts to worry about whether he might be heading for Hell if he continues living as he currently does.

Stefano's story could have been interesting but then the author made up his own bizarre far from omniscient creator figure who comes down to Earth looking for the hominid who he saw looking at him. Tosh.
