Zachary Mason's brilliant and beguiling debut novel, The Lost Books of the Odyssey, reimagines Homer's classic story of the hero Odysseus and his long journey home after the fall of Troy. With brilliant prose, terrific imagination, and dazzling literary skill, Mason creates alternative episodes, fragments, and revisions of Homer's original that taken together open up this classic Greek myth to endless reverberating interpretations.

So beautiful. So brilliant.
Reviewed: 11-07-21
Great novel (really a series of short stories), a meditation on identity, time, narration, storytelling. Beautiful stripped-down language. Simon Vance terrific as always. One of my favorites books, and audiobooks, of all time. Brilliant.
