Ransom by David Malouf
In his first novel in more than a decade, award-winning author David Malouf reimagines the pivotal narrative of Homer's Iliad--one of the most famous passages in all of literature. This is the story of the relationship between two grieving men at war: fierce Achilles, who has lost his beloved Patroclus in the siege of Troy; and woeful Priam, whose son Hector killed Patroclus and was in turn savaged by Achilles. A moving tale of suffering, sorrow, and redemption, Ransom is incandescent in its delicate and powerful lyricism and its unstated imperative that we imagine our lives in the glow of fellow feeling.
David Malouf is a poet and writer who was awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2000. He is the author of Dream Stuff, The Great World, winner of the Miles Franklin Prize, Remembering Babylon, which won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was short-listed for the Booker Prize, and the poetry collections Revolving Days and Typewriter Music.
