Episode description
In which Giovanni Boccaccio tells us why he is writing this story, that the beginning is going to be miserable but worth it, and regales us with details of the Black Death in Florence that cannot possibly be omitted (in his opinion).
Meanwhile, we complain about his attitudes towards women and his miserable beginning.
