Interview with Andrew Barger
Q1: "Cruising in Paradise" in the final book in your Divine Dantes trilogy. Are you relieved or sad to have the trilogy published?
A1: In some ways I'm relieved because I unsure if I could pull it off. Basing a group of characters on those in The Divine Comedy is no easy task. Why do I do it to myself? Mostly, I'm sad. I miss Bea and Eddie and Virg already. They had become my friends.
Q2: Were you conflicted in how to end it?
A2: Not at all. Dante gave me a pretty good roadmap. The best thing about being a writer instead of in a band is that I never have other bandmates to fight with!
Q3: In the trilogy Edward T. Nad comes up with many inventive ideas for a name for his band. Do you hope some of them are adopted?
A3: I would love it. I'm encouraging any band that uses one of the names to contact me so I can tell my social media peeps to check them out.
Q4: Did you add anything to The Divine Comedy?
A4: I started the trilogy with a prologue and ended it with an epilogue. Neither is based on the poem. I wanted to add a new beginning and ending to it as a way of putting a modern stamp on it.
Q5: Did Eddie find his girl in the end and settle on a name for the band?
A5: You will have to read to find out. A few pop stars were casualties along the way. As Eddie points out, "It isn't murder if they are pop stars."
