![]() Offering solutions only demands the most tedious work-a-day efforts for both writers and readers. One of the greatest explorations of questions ever written was Buffy the Vampire Slayer (e.g., look at Jana Riess’ book, What would Buffy Do, if you don’t want to take my word for it.) Answers are dreary. And I mean this broadly including works written for entertainment. ![]() In my experience, the soul of literature worth reading always explores questions. Much about the book plays with such paradox, and to get at the spiritual underpinnings one must move all the way through the book and look at its overall shape. An odd claim for a book that begins, “There are those God hates.” The book problematizes many things we take for granted and trivializes other ideas we take with profound seriousness. Heike’s Void is my most deeply spiritual book. ![]()
