The Young Inferno
Author(s): John Agard
Can our hoodie hero make it through nine circles of Hell and back again? Will he find love with his soulmate, Beatrice? Discover the city of Dis where everybody disses everybody. Meet Frankenstein, the lovesick bouncer with the bling-bling. Come face to face with the Furies, a gang of snake-haired females in T-shirts. Prepare for a host of gluttons, bigots and plunderers from the world of history and politics. John Agard, highly-regarded British poet, blasts Dante's Inferno into the 21st century in a red-hot retelling, with a little help from Satoshi Kitamura and his wicked artwork.
