About J. Simon Harris

J. Simon Harris is the creator of Dante’s Afterlife and a translator of Dante’s Divine Comedy. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he moonlights as a scientist (eight hours a day on weekdays). He has published a novel, a translation of Dante’s Inferno, and a translation of Pablo Neruda’s Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. He loves books, videogames, movies… pretty much any form of storytelling. He loves the mountains, the ocean, gardening, walking his dog. But most of all he loves being a dad. He is currently working on a translation of Homer’s Iliad in epic hexameter verse, a second novel, and a translation of Dante’s Vita Nuova (New Life). He continues to maintain this website, Dante’s Afterlife, where you can read historical background on Dante and his times, commentary on Dante’s work, and more.
