I've read most of camus and I'm wondering if I should read the divine comedy or a happy death.
>>
a happy death helps you appreciate the stranger so that's nice

when you say divine comedy do you mean like the Dante one or are you talking about The Fall by Camus? not a huge fan of The Fall

Inferno is incredible and basically mandatory for a literate Westerner. If you're an adult, Purgatorio has interesting things to say about changing your life and virtue. But Paradiso is not great. It's like God emperor of dune where there's barely any plot and it constantly stops so the author can just tell you his big ideas about what's really going on

I could not read Dante. I imagine the translation matters. I do not think I had a nice translation.

>be dante
>write a book about hell
>put all the dead people you dont like in hell
>big twist at the end: people you dont like that are still alive are already in hell and they are puppeted by demons on earth
>see satans ballsack
>profit

Unironically an amazing book tho

I havent finished paradiso but i agree its probably the weakest or at least the hardest to understand
