Fantastic reviews for Patrick Dillon's Ithaca

18 Jul 2016

Patrick Dillon’s new novel Ithaca, a retelling of Homer’s Odyssey, has been getting fantastic reviews: ‘A vibrant retelling of The Odyssey … The book deftly chronicles the 16-year-old’s feelings of abandonment, humiliation, and anguish …as rich as it is complex. This is a smart and highly readable adventure, and a fresh take on a classic story.’ Publishers Weekly (available online here): ‘Dillon’s done an excellent job of reimagining The Odyssey… Smoothly told and suspenseful … invites a sequel.’ Michael Cart, Booklist ‘An extraordinary reimagining … daring and completely successful. The prose is at once spare and rich, the descriptions intense and compelling. This is a book not to be missed.’ Terence Hawkins, author of The Rage of Achilles
