Summer is here and it’s time for the annual Work Matters book review. So fire up the e-reader, pop open the sun tan lotion, and settle down for some quality reflection time.

Starting off is a Dante triple play: Dante’s Inferno and two new books, “In a Dark Wood: What Dante Taught Me About Grief, Healing, and the Mysteries of Love,” by Joseph Luzzi, an Italian scholar who loses his pregnant wife in a horrific car crash but the baby is saved. Gripping, honest and raw. And, there is “How Dante Can Save Your Life: The Life-Changing Wisdom of History’s Greatest Poet,” from Rob Dreher, an elegiac mediation on the loss of his sister, the vagaries of family life, and the unpredictability of our lives. We all lose our way. Dante instructs us on how to return to the path, and leave the dark wood wherein we all will—sooner or later—find ourselves.
