In the Hand of Dante
''In the Hand of Dante'' is the third novel by Nick Tosches.
==Plot==
The book interweaves two separate stories, one set in the 14th century in Italy and Sicily and featuring Dante Alighieri, and another set in the autumn of 2001 and featuring a fictionalized version of Nick Tosches as the protagonist. The historical and modern stories alternate as Dante tries to finish writing his magnum opus and goes on a journey for mystical knowledge in Sicily. Meanwhile Tosches, as something of a Dante expert, is called in by black market traders to attest to the authenticity of a manuscript of ''The Divine Comedy'' supposedly written by Dante himself.
Included in the modern sections of the book are musings by Tosches on the state of modern publishing, the futility of excessively flowery poetry and prose, references to his own previous books (including a lengthy passage directly out of the introduction to ''The Nick Tosches Reader''), the September 11th attacks, and the Rolling Stones.
Louie Brunellesches, a small-time New York gangster who also appears in Tosches' novel ''Cut Numbers'', returns in a smaller role, making this something of a sequel.
