Overview

Evoking subterranean worlds in a sort of travel diary to the center of the world and beyond, Angelo Musco here frees himself from the anguish of his own birth, which took place after 11 long months of gestation. Like Virgil in the Divine Comedy, the artist guides us, through his digital photographs, into worlds that, almost unbeknownst to us, pulsate beneath the earth's crust.

About the Author, John Berendt

John Berendt, author of the bestsellers Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and The City of Falling Angels, told us about his former life in the fast-paced magazine world, which he likened to "standing in a stream trying to catch fish with your bare hands." He recalls, "I began to realize I wasn't getting very deeply into anything I was writing about. In order to get deeply -- to wallow -- in a topic, I knew I'd have to write a book."
