Awards/获奖情况："A lively sprint through Dante’s celebrated poem and its stupendous afterlife. The authors roll out their account as a mystery story of their own. It’s a terrific tale from start to finish about how Dante’s seven-hundred-year-old personal epic still grips twenty-first-century readers, writers, and creative luminaries." --William J.
