The Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason

5.0

Quite impressive for a debut work. While some of the 44 scenes are quite far-fetched, and others are barely a page with very little exposition, there are a number of interesting and well-developed re-imaginings. I particularly liked the one focussed on Polyphemus, who - once blinded - apparently becomes another ‘character’ familiar to those who have read the Illiad and the Odyssey. Over-all, an enjoyable read which is greatly enhanced if you’re familiar with the original source material.
