How Dante Can Save Your Life by Rod Dreher

This is the next chapter in Rod Dreher’s search to reconcile his love for his family with his feelings of rejection from them. It is a story of forgiveness. And he talks about Dante a bit. Actually, he talks about Dante a lot. His description of how Dante helped him reach a state of reconciliation helps those of us who have never attempted the Commedia navigate this great work. In fact, in this book we find a series of guides: Virgil guides Dante, Dante guides Dreher, and Dreher guides us.
