Escape to Hell is billed as a collection of short stories and essays, but most readers have found it lacking even the basic ingredients of plot or content. One of the most bizarre stories is called “The Astronaut’s Suicide.” It tells the story of an astronaut who returns to Earth from a long stay in space, finds he can’t adjust to normal life, and kills himself. It’s meant to be a children’s book.

“This journal is a glimpse of him as a young man,” said Behne, who is in the process of writing Adney’s biography in addition to editing his journals. “Adney has become my obsession,” Behne continued, comparing his fascination with the journal author to Adney’s fixation with canoes. “I realized I think about him every day. I really enjoy the work, discovering more about him. I get a pleasure through telling stories about him and watching the light come on.”

The conventional axiom is that Gutenberg and movable type were the point at which books and technology began to merge - but I’m now reminded that this isn’t true. The technologies of reading and publishing have entwined and evolved since writing was first invented - often in response to the available resources and the cultural pressures in play as societies have changed.
