The Odyssey by Homer
This month, the Literary Baddies Book Club returns to the source, i.e. Homer's The Odyssey, one of the founding texts of Western literature and arguably the first portrait of a hero you’re not sure you should be rooting for.
We’ll be discussing Odysseus's particular brand of moral complexity: the lying, the surviving at everyone else’s expense, the gods who make everyone a little bit innocent and a little bit doomed.
Also: Christopher Nolan’s adaptation hits cinemas this week, and we’re definitely going.
Anyone is welcome regardless of finishing the book — or the epic poem, or the past three millennia of discourse — but beware of spoilers.
