Odyssey
<DIV><P>Lombardo's <I>Odyssey</I> offers the distinctive speed, clarity, and boldness that so distinguished his 1997 <I><I><I>Iliad<I>.</I></I></I></I><BR /><BR /> "[Lombardo] has brought his laconic wit and love of the ribald . . . to his version of the <I>Odyssey</I>. His carefully honed syntax gives the narrative energy and a whirlwind pace. The lines, rhythmic and clipped, have the tautness and force of Odysseus' bow."<BR /> —Chris Hedges, <I><I><I><I>The New York Times Book Review</I></I></I></I></P></DIV>
