It's the first thing in that book there: the Garden of Eden. Knowledge is destructive to the spirit, destructive to goodness. Everyone knows that story. It's probably the most famous story in there. I suppose from the God point of view all knowledge is vanity. Or maybe it just gives people the unhealthy illusion that they can outwit the devil.

Summary: A deeply religious black ex-con thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who tries to throw himself in front of an oncoming subway train, 'The Sunset Limited.' As the one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.
