Literary Fiction
On Homer and Other Gods
by Irene Reyes-Noguerol
Description
In the remote past, the poets sang about love, war, loneliness, melancholy and oblivion, and Homeric poems were not an exception. Going back to this tradition, these tales talk about Hera’s jealousy, the wrath of Achilles, the pain of the Trojan women, the death of Hector, Hermes’ travels and Penelope’s long wait with a delicate and brilliant style. The myths are not re-written, but brought to the present with characters that could live in any urban space of our century.

Endorsements
“The tales collected in ‘On Homer and other gods’ could be the passionate incidents of that Olimpic lineage in these vulgar times. With all that, Irene Reyes-Noguerol -more writer than ever- was able to give those creatures an intimate, heroic and divine epic. I don’t know what is the literary life (maybe another social network), but I do know what is to live in the literature. Irene knows it too, because she is now one more next to Homer, Cernuda, Borges and all of those who turn to honor Hector, breaker of horses”. Fernando Iwasaki
