Thanks, a good reflection, I expect I'll come back to it a few times.
Quasi-related: for several years, I've taken Dante's Purgatory as my travel read anytime I fly. Like it's a book for ascending. The lines about shaking off Hell for fresh winds escape me now, but it's something I circle back to.
Sort of a parallel to your thoughts here, Chase, was hearing my audiobook for the first time, and how the narrator so brilliantly captured the words through dramatic performance. It felt like a Dante/Casella moment.
Literature has a tendency to meet us where we are. Good thoughts, here.
Thanks Danny! Yeah that has to be an incredible experience. Not just the work of creating a piece of literature, but hearing someone engage with it and breathe further life into it.
