Forum Overview :: Dead Trees :: Re: Caltrops Book Club: Gehenna by Barry Malzberg

[quote name="Mysterious Stranger"]It's a "Jesus Saves" story: the only importance to the stops is that the first three characters go to the party instead of leaving the train at CHRISTopher Circle/Statue of CHRIST/CHRIST Towers. They therefore go on to live ultimately unfulfilled and meaningless lives in New York Purgatory. The possibilities are left open for Ann at the end of the story: will she break the cycle and leave as CHRISTopher Street or go to the party and become another godless New Yorker.[/quote]
