ZACHARY MASON THE LOST BOOKS OF THE ODYSSEY STARCHERONE BOOKS
Zachary Mason reads Wed., Apr. 2.
"A stirring revelation: Zachary Mason's astounding glosses of The Odyssey plunge us into an unforeseeable and hypnotic dimension of fiction. Of the three possible interpretations of the work that he proposes — Homeric stories anciently reproduced by recombining their components, a Theosophist dream of abstract mathematics, and pure illusion (that is, it was all made up by him) — the result is one and the same. This enthralling book is his doing, whether as translator, conjuror, or author. I vote for number three."
- Harry Mathews
with the poet Cora Stryker
