In this post, I aim to explain a brief summary of the book The lost books of the Odyssey, by Zachary Mason and summarize his impact as an author.
In this article, https://harvardreview.org/book-review/the-lost-books-of-the-odyssey/ , we read about the voyage back to Ithaca from Troy, interwoven with flashbacks from the Trojan War and Mason’s spin on the classic story of the hero Odysseus’s long journey home after the fall of Troy. In his version of the classic story, he offers an alternative view that provides us with new perspectives than that of the original telling of the story. Mason brings light to ancient greek gender norms, especially with that of women and how they have been portrayed in the past https://diotima-doctafemina.org/reviews/literature-review/the-lost-books-of-the-odyssey-by-z-mason/ . Zachary is a computer scientist artificial-intelligence expert, https://www.berkeleyside.org/2017/05/03/zachary-mason-uses-skills-artificial-intelligence-expert-new-novel , which I believe is a lot of why he brings such a modern spin to a classic story. Zachary graduated with his doctorate from Brandeis University and now works for Silicon Valley Startup http://santamaddalena.org/zachary-mason/ .
