Yann Martel flips the script on a Greek classic
Notas del episodio
In Son of Nobody, Yann Martel tells Claire Nichols how he reimagines The Iliad, shifting the epic from heroic legend to life as an ordinary foot soldier.
Twenty-five years after Life of Pi changed his life, he also reflects on the enduring power of myth, storytelling, and why animals continue to resonate in fiction.
Yann spoke to Claire Nichols at the Sydney Writers Festival.
