challenging dark reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No

I can appreciate a good classic but, I had the displeasure of reading this on my own (I love to suffer apparently), i feel like I'd like it much much more if i listened to the audiobook, my head hurts now

I see a lot of comments talking about Dante roasting most of Florence. Just wanted to add that he’s doing so because he was exiled and this was a method of revenge and slander. It’s supposed to be tongue in cheek which Pinsky translated beautifully!
