<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback--the Tosches masterpiece--a life-or-death thriller based on the life of Dante and a thief named Nick Tosches.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Deep inside the Vatican library, a priest discovers the rarest and most valuable art object ever found: the manuscript of <i>The Divine Comedy</i>, written in Dante's own hand. Via Sicily, the manuscript makes its way from the priest to a mob boss in New York City, where a writer named Nick Tosches is called to authenticate the prize. For this writer, the temptation is too great: he steals the manuscript in a last-chance bid to have it all. Some will find it offensive; others will declare it transcendent; it is certain to be the most ragingly debated novel of the decade.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A novel that happily breaks every rule it can...The sheer audaciousness of Tosches's writing makes most other fiction seem phony by comparison.--<b>David Wiegand</b>, <i><b>San Francisco Chronicle</b></i><br><br>Splendid, passionate...A strange, wild hybrid of a novel...with a moral fervor far exceeding most novels of better grooming.--<b>Will Blythe</b>, <i><b>New York Times Book Review</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nick Tosches</b> is from Newark, New Jersey.
