Description
Yann Martel, author of the international sensation Life of Pi, discusses his new novel, Son of Nobody. A fresh retelling of the Trojan War, the book unfolds through the voices of an ancient soldier and a modern scholar, blending myth, history and intimate domestic detail. Moving effortlessly from the plains of Troy to the halls of Oxford, Sons of Nobody shifts the spotlight from kings and demigods to the ordinary people whose stories rarely endure.
