Daunt Books

A slim paperback that you could easily miss, computer scientist Zachary Mason's debut novel is an extraordinary work. In a series of short stories, Mason has written variations on the Odyssey - both retellings as well as imagined episodes exempt from Homer's original work. It is almost impossible to believe that such an ambitious project might actually work, but Mason has written a curious, bewitching and philosophical masterpiece. One of our books of the year.
