Bored out of my mind listening to this thing, which for most other Great Books would probably register as a greater put-down to me than the work itself, but. I don’t think I can blame Wilson, either - I liked her Odyssey, certainly more than Fagles’ - but my god, these endless tedious fight scenes, with their interchangeable characters and speeches and intensifying modifiers.
