Dante's Inferno is pretty much "What if I went to Hell and Kurt Cobain showed up and told me how cool and handsome I was and Trump was there getting turned into a snake and my Middle School math teacher is buried in mud and I called her a loser." Absolutely brilliant literature I love it.

My spouse wears Dante on her skin. Can you imagine, "700 years from now", someone tattooing A MINOR on their skin, not knowing the sheer DEPTH of the fucking thing. The length of time he held the last syllable was a reference.

I tried the annotated version and learning all the dead Italian guys he was shit talking didn't make it any more interesting

“paradiso” is basically the AI tupac verse though

a song of ice and fire
