  1. 1. The Lost Books Of The Odyssey

    This imaginative novel reimagines the epic journey of Odysseus through a series of fragmented and alternate narratives, each offering a fresh perspective on the legendary hero's adventures. The stories explore themes of identity, memory, and the nature of storytelling itself, as Odysseus encounters familiar characters and challenges in unexpected ways. Through these inventive retellings, the book delves into the complexities of human experience, blurring the lines between myth and reality, and inviting readers to ponder the endless possibilities of the ancient tale.

  2. 2. Metamorphica

    A bold, fragmentary reimagining of classical myths, this book renders ancient tales of transformation into spare, contemporary vignettes that probe identity, desire, power, and the uncanny. The retellings compress and reshape stories of gods, mortals, and monsters into startling, lyrical miniatures that illuminate the porous boundaries between human and animal, flesh and fate. Alternately elegiac, wry, and unsettling, the work invites readers to reconsider the persistent, often violent logic of metamorphosis and the ways stories remake us.
