The Lost Books of the Odyssey
by Zachary Mason
$24.00
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
978-0-374-19215-0

I consider the Odyssey to be one of the greatest stories ever told. So a book that purports to retell—to reimagine!—the Odyssey had better be good. This book is. Mason's writing is lyrical; the new tales, magical. Calvino fans rejoice.
