The Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason

4.75

The only reason I won’t give this five stars is that I recognise that whilst I loved it, it conforms exactly to my interests and literary tastes. If you don’t have a fairly comprehensive grip on Greek Mythology, you may not be able to get the maximum pleasure from some of the tales, but you’ll still have a wonderful time with enchanting prose and some fascinating story-telling with the way it wraps new themes into perversions of the Odyssean mythos. I’ve never read anything quite like this, and I don’t think I ever will again.
