[edit] Title

So, folks, as it turns out, the novel has never been translated into English, therefore the article title should be chosen by the editors. Let's have so kind of vote, maybe? We can revert the title back to A Guy from Purgatory, we can leave it as it is (The Kid from Hell), or, if you have any better suggestions, just toss them in. As for me, since the current title is just as official as the one proposed by me (that is, the former one), I vote for A Guy from Purgatory. --Koveras 15:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Novel have been translated into English as The Kid from Hell. First in the US, in the Macmillan's Escape Attempt book, 1982, full content of the book see here. So, I vote for The Kid from Hell. NERV 08:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I can testify, because I was just able to buy the book. As NERV says, the "Escape Attempt" book contains "Escape Attempt", "Space Mowgli", and "The Kid from Hell". Staecker 19:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that settles the matter, then. :) --Koveras 22:35, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
