Virgil and Alex: A Young Man's Journey through a Modern Incarnation of Dante's Inferno

by J. Meadows

Alex, a young man living on the west coast, wakes up to a Monday he will never forget and one that launches him on a cross-country trip to his childhood home in the Midwest. Along the way, he encounters a wild cast of characters inhabiting the circles of hell in a modern rendition of Dante’s Inferno. His guide for this journey is his faithful companion and spiritual anchor, Virgil, a plodding and cantankerous but ultimately reliable, antique Volkswagen Bus. Together, they navigate the labyrinth and Alex emerges forever changed by his experiences. From the depths of despair to the heights of hilarity, Alex never endures a dull moment as he steers his way toward the discovery of a life philosophy.
