The Inferno: A Novel
by Winston Brady
The Inferno begins the moment the narrator Evan Esco commits suicide: his life has become empty after years of drinking that, combined with the grief over the death of his younger sister, push him over the edge. Evan has nothing to live for and hopes he would disappear. Even his name comes from the Latin verb “evanesco”, meaning “I disappear.” Evan fakes a car accident, hoping his soul might be bundled into the void and cease to be. Before the accident, knowing the gravity of his sins, unable to dismiss the possibility God exists, Evan tries to repent.
