Raising Hell

Botticelli "The Map of Hell"

How to raise hell in hell? Hell is other people is the famed Sartre quote from No Exit. So you don't have to go any further than your the local diner where you have possibly gathered with friends as a break from holiday shopping, a hell all unto itself. Dante conjured 9 circles of hell, each with its own crimes and punishments. So you are not likely to run out of destinations. Just sin and your transgression will be sent on the way to its own fiery punishment. Maybe you just want to have a no strings attached good time, Erica Jong’s “zipless fuck.” Maybe you’d like to inhabit an episode of “Sex and the City.” Do you want to produce or revive pleasure? Maybe it’s a combination of both! Here you can both exorcise your demons “having a good time” while literally raising yourself up from your neighborhood underworld.
