Comedy, Book One

Arts & Literature

“McGee’s Comedy takes Dante as a model, but the first book is an inferno only insofar as fire is like flowing water, which in turn is like thought itself: mixing, altering, and consuming as it goes. Behind it is an idea that also occurs in McGee’s critical works: that the worlds we exist in are woven through streams of thought that change and flow. Among this flow are currents that express a growing understanding of how things might be.”
