About the Author:Zachary Mason is the author of the New York Times bestsellingnovel The Lost Books of the Odyssey and, more recently, Void Star, which has been optioned for film.He lives in California.
Book Description:In the tradition of Zachary Mason's bestselling first novel, The Lost Books of the Odyssey - where he recast episodes from Homer's masterpiece - Metamorphica now reimagines Ovid's epic poem of endless transformation, Metamorphoses. Just as the Roman poet reinvigorated the Greek Classical legends 700 years after Homer, so Mason now gives us a radical and exciting renovation of those myths, 2,000 years after Ovid. It retells the great stories of Narcissus, Orpheus, Persephone, Icarus, Midas, Medea and Actaeon, and strings them together like the stars in constellations - with even Ovid himself entering the narrative. It's as though the ancient mythologies had been rewritten by Borges or Calvino - or artificial intelligence - and brought glimmering back into our world. Metamorphica re-engages with the elemental power of the ancient shape-changing gods by keeping their essences while rewriting their stories. It is this extraordinary narrative approach that is so thrilling; we watch as the author extracts more and more out of the original legend - adding infinite perspectives to narratives we thought we knew. Mason understands that the great myths are parables - always in flux, always relevant - always throwing shards of light from the morning of the world.
Editorial Review:A glorious compendium of classical mythology stretching from the creation of the universe to the Emperor Augustus. -- Emma Park * Spectator * "Zachary Mason in Metamorphica has done away with traditional modes entirely... well-wrought, with some powerful writing... Even knowing the myth's grisly end does not diminish the impact of the retelling." -- Frank Brinkley * Literary Review * "Mason adds new perspectives to the mythical stories we thought we knew." * iNews * "Zachary Mason's new retellings are playful and daring... with...Mason's intriguing Calvino-esque storytelling, this is a constellation of stories that should star on your bookshelf." -- Jennie Bailey * Starburst *
