The current issue of First Things arrived in the mail today. Flipping through the pages, I came across a review (by David Bentley Hart) of a new translation of Dantes Divine Comedy. The first sentence was rich: For me the appearance of Dan Browns newest Robert Langdon novel, its dust jacket adorned with Dantes flinty profile and a misappropriated title, poses a purely historical question: Has there ever been another case anywhere in the annals of the printed word of a literary figure as majestically imposing as Dante... featuring as the central motif for theme... in a book by a writer as ineffably horrid as Brown?
