WHY DANTE? A Presentation of Joseph Luzzi's IN A DARK WOOD

In a Dark Wood
What Dante Taught Me About Grief, Healing, and the Mysteries of Love
(Harper Wave, 2015)

by Joseph Luzzi

In the aftermath of a heartbreaking tragedy, a scholar and writer uses Dante's Divine Comedy to shepherd him through the dark wood of grief and mourning-a rich and emotionally resonant memoir of suffering, hope, love, and the power of literature to inspire and heal the most devastating loss.

Where do we turn when we lose everything? Joseph Luzzi found the answer in the opening of The Divine Comedy: "In the middle of our life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood."
