"With drifter Marlon Brando’s memorable snakeskin jacket standing in for Eurydice’s lethal serpent, and the actor’s guitar for Orpheus’s lyre, Tennessee Williams’s retelling of the Greek myth drips with sweat and sex. I think of Marlon’s jacket whenever I see python on the runway, which is frequently."

Book Favorite

"“War Music,” a collection of Logue’s poetic "account" of the “Iliad,” has some real goosebump moments. Logue didn't know Greek and unlike Homer, he's not really interested in people or feelings; but he is brilliant at evoking colors, movement, and the awe-inspiring apparition of the divine."

I had heard a lot of good things about this book and admittedly I was quite late to the party. But I'm glad that I managed to nab myself a copy from the library to read. This book has definitely revived my love for Greek mythology. The story of Circe is really well written and I love how it encompasses other areas of Greek mythology like Odysseus and Prometheus. At times I did find my mind wandering as there were areas that didn't grab my attention as much as others but it was brought back quite swiftly. I will definitely be reading more of this author's works!
