Penn Libraries presents Julia Pelosi-Thorpe.

Julia will share her reading of the 2021 music video for Lil Nas X's song "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" as a reception of Dante's Divine Comedy that explores its hell-purgatory-heaven system as well as specific textual resonances. The talk is based on a paper written for Professor David Wallace's course, ENGL 5940.401 English, Irish, and American Dantes.
