Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for this special episode of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE. This episode is my interview with Kristen Hook, a Dantista who is writing her dissertation at UC-Berkeley on Inferno, Canto X.
She's most interested in Guido Cavalcanti, the son of the man who raises his chin up over the edge of the heretics' tomb where Farinata is having his pissing match with our pilgrim, Dante.
You might want to go back and review Canto X. Or just settle in. Kristen Hook will lead us into unexpected depth on this episode. I hope you find the water deep, maybe even over your head. Because there's always more to Dante's COMEDY than you might even imagine.
