Hay Festival August Book Club – The Odyssey

Join translator Emily Wilson as she shares her take on Homer’s The Odyssey, a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home. She talks to novelist Kamila Shamsie, author of Best of Friends and Home Fire, a contemporary reimagining of Sophocles' Antigone.
