PROJECT DANTE

I finished rewriting and condensing Canto I of the Inferno yesterday, in between a long afternoon snooze and the amazing race. I have the authors 136 lines down to mine 40.

Canto II is going to be a bit of a problem as it deals with the issue of why Virgil is there to help the poet, but nothing actually happens. I think it may work if its reduced to to 8-10 lines, just a note to pave Virgil's way to Dante's path. One single page spread should do it, though I have no ideas about what that might me yet.
