In this story, Theodore and Alexandra attempt to escape infinity. There seem to interdimensional leaps occurring throughout the story, and the reader depends on clues to guide them through the passage, but these clues are not always present. From the outset, we are told that time is irrelevant within this story, which is nice as it sets up the expectations throughout. There is a heavy mixture of heady philosophical musings and seemingly mundane activity, e.g. raking leaves.
As it turns out, Theodore’s main quest is to kill God and escape from the universe (I think). This story is a kind of hard to follow, and culminates with Alexandra escaping into a hole in the universe, consumed by all the moments of her life. I thought it was underwhelming that she only found it ‘fascinating,’ but I guess it would have been too much if her head simply exploded.
