An Iliad : a story of war
Baricco, Alessandro, 1958-2008
Book
Alessandro Baricco recreates the siege of Troy through the voices of 21 Homeric characters. Sacrificing none of Homer's panoramic scope, he forgoes Homer's detachment and admits us to realms of subjective experience his predecessor never explored.
