Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Don' be e-scared"
I should take my off-topic ass back to my own thread. Hey, I was an executive producer on Firefly!
(how many people can say THAT? Just two, I'm thinkin'.)

kat, you're reading Inferno as a way to relax on a weekend?
Well SURE! Who isn't?
Actually no. I'm taking a class on Dante. And honestly, The Divine Comedy is so much more enjoyable than his other writings, including De Monarchia which I read two weeks ago and it made blood pour of out my eyes.
So the Inferno is relaxing.
The Hamilton bio is fantastic. If I had to choose a founding father to have an affair with, he'd be at the top of my list. Far above Jefferson or Washington. Though if I had to choose a husband among founding fathers, it would be Adams all the way.

Your best work was on Buffy, though.
What? All the critics think so....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"Don' be e-scared"
I am so unimpressed with Jefferson. Sorry, just am. Though I have the Hitchens short biography and I will read that. Hamilton didn't own OTHER PEOPLE.
And I don't at all buy the "you have to judge a man in his time" argument. Hamilton and Adams both were abolitionists and there were many.

Awww, are you feeling like Duckie on prom night in Pretty In Pink?
I'm taking a class on Dante.
You can bring me in for show and tell. Supposedly, I'm a descendant of Beatrice. I get no royalties, though.

See, we aren't political opposites. I totally agree with you on Jefferson. We can overcome partisan politics and sing kumbaya together.
In my TBR pile is 1776. Sadly I have to plow through Purgatorio and Paradiso along with Barry Glasner's The Culture of Fear first.

You make me laugh. Which is good. I just rewatched Out of Gas to cleanse my (very particular and opinionated) palate.
I liked Inferno for its creativity of violence. Paradiso and ...um, the other one, kinda bored me, given I don't recall a damned thing.
I know I scared my 11th grade english teacher with my glee and laughter over some of Inferno's circles.
Obama delivered the last political speech I could listen to without heckling or turning it off. Whatever that means.
