In this episode, meet Norwegian-Italian author and journalist Kristin Flood as she discusses her journey of retelling Dante's "Inferno" in Norwegian rhyme. She delves into the poem's allegorical layers, emphasizing Dante's descent into the underworld where he meets lost souls and confronts the darkest facets of human nature. Flood explores whether the poem serves as a literal warning about the consequences of our actions after death or symbolizes the inner shadows we must face. She suggests that "The Divine Comedy" mirrors the way shadows, like trolls in the light, must be acknowledged and confronted to be overcome, revealing deeper truths about our inner selves.
