Dante is a truly a once in a millennium hater; even 700 years later no one has done it like him since

Crazy to read a book where the message is “you should hate your enemies way more, actually” and have the protagonist’s journey basically being about unlearning empathy for the damned. Those old school Italian Catholics did not mess around.

I hope that when I eventually write a book where my idol escorts me safely through Hell and I describe at length how all of my personal and political enemies are there it will also be considered a classic and read for 700 years

I can’t believe no one told me that this is Roman Catholic “A Christmas Carol” mixed with self insert road trip fanfic with Dante’s favourite poet
