Yann Martel releases Son of Nobody, a comedic retelling of the Iliad
3 hours ago
Yann Martel's new book, Son of Nobody, reimagines the Trojan War through the eyes of a commoner named Psoas. Blending verse fragments and footnoted commentary from a fictional scholar, the narrative explores themes of familial loss amid a comedic retelling of the Iliad. The 334-page work mixes archaic tones with modern humor but struggles for coherence.
