520    "In the aftermath of a heartbreaking tragedy, a scholar 
       and writer uses Dante's Divine Comedy to shepherd him 
       through the dark wood of grief and mourning--a rich and 
       emotionally resonant memoir of suffering, hope, love, and 
       the power of literature to inspire and heal the most 
       devastating loss. Where do we turn when we lose 
       everything? Joseph Luzzi found the answer in the opening 
       of The Divine Comedy: "In the middle of our life's journey,
       I found myself in a dark wood. "When Luzzi's pregnant wife
       was in a car accident--and died forty-five minutes after 
       giving birth to their daughter, Isabel--he finds himself a
       widower and first-time father at the same moment. While he
       grieves and cares for his infant daughter, miraculously 
       delivered by caesarean before his wife passed, he turns to
       Dante's Divine Comedy for solace. In a Dark Wood tells the
       story of how Dante helps the author rebuild his life. He 
       follows the structure of The Divine Comedy, recounting the
       Inferno of his grief, the Purgatory of healing and raising
       Isabel on his own, and then Paradise of the rediscovery of
       love. A Dante scholar, Luzzi has devoted his life to 
       teaching and writing about the poet. But until he turned 
       to the epic poem to learn how to resurrect his life, he 
       didn't realize how much the poet has given back to him. A 
       meditation on the influence of great art and its power to 
       give us strength in our darkest moments, In a Dark Wood 
       opens the door into the mysteries of Dante's epic poem. 
       Beautifully written and flawlessly balanced, Luzzi's book 
       is a hybrid of heart-rending memoir and critical insight 
       into one of the greatest pieces of literature in all of 
       history. In a Dark Wood draws us into man's descent into 
       hell and back: it is Dante's journey, Joseph Luzzi's, and 
       our very own"--|cProvided by publisher.
