The Adventure is an afterlife voyage like The Divine Comedy. Dante had the law of symbolic retribution and distinct places to put people. The Adventure has neither. If you seek a guiding principle, it’s more or less this: whoever you are, what you’ll get is—exactly and in detail—what you want.

This fine collection is accompanied by an essay by Sir John Pollock that skillfully places the writers' ideas in the perspective of recent experience. A crucial document for lawyers, the letters are also delightful reading.
