Paradise: From the Divine Comedy
From AudioFile Heathcote Williams is a British actor and playwright noted for AC/DC, a pair of paranoid and profane dramas that teetered between insanity and genius. Unlike his manic, sensationalistic theater pieces, his reading of the "Paradise" section of Dante's DIVINE COMEDY seems laid-back to a fault. Though apparently striving for the beatific, he manages only to sound bloodless. Annoying mouth noises, sometimes louder than his voice, deepen this impression. Instead of the vision of an inspired poet conducted through the glory of heaven by his saintly love, we get a sleepy tourist escorted through an academic library by a bored docent.

Dante was an Italian poet of the Middle Ages. The name Dante is, according to the words of Jacopo Alighieri, a hypocorism for Durante. In contemporary documents it is followed by the patronymic Alagherii or de Alagheriis; it was Boccaccio who popularized the form Alighieri. ([Source][1].)
