A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Zachary Mason's brilliant and beguiling novel reimagines Homer's classic story of the hero Odysseus and his long journey home after the fall of Troy. Mason creates alternative episodes, fragments, and revisions of Homer's original that, taken together, open up this classic Greek myth to endless reverberating interpretations. “Mr. Mason...has written a series of jazzy, post-modernist variations on the Odyssey, and in doing so he’s created an ingeniously Borgesian novel that’s witty, playful, moving and tirelessly inventive..." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times |
