Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey released a few weeks ago to mostly acclaim, but still some criticism. Some, including experts in the classics such as Emily Wilson, have heavily critiqued Nolan's departures from the original work. How much does historical accuracy matter in adaptation? Who actually owns classic works of literature, and why does it matter? Join us to discuss all this and more!
For our 9th session of Poetry in the Garden this summer, we'll begin an exploration of emotional themes in poetry. This week we'll be reading Try to Praise the Mutilated World by Adam Zagajewski, which gained fame after being published in The New Yorker magazine shortly after the September 11th attacks. See you in the garden!
