Odyssey

Lombardo's *Odyssey* offers the distinctive speed, clarity, and boldness that so distinguished his 1997 ***Iliad*.**** "\[Lombardo\] has brought his laconic wit and love of the ribald . . . to his version of the *Odyssey*. His carefully honed syntax gives the narrative energy and a whirlwind pace. The lines, rhythmic and clipped, have the tautness and force of Odysseus' bow." -Chris Hedges, ****The New York Times Book Review****
