A Modern Reader's Guide to Dante's The Divine Comedy | Joseph Gallagher

so-so

I just finished this “travelogue” through Dante‘s poem. It definitely enhances meaning for today‘s reader. I rated it “So-So,” because there are so many cantos in the three segments of the poem. Mr. G. was succinct in his explanations, but, if you are inclined to “jump in” the Inferno, you‘ve got to make it through Purgatorio before reaching Paradiso!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ All praise to the author, but perseverance & a lot of wine 🍷 is required!!!
