Here in \u003ci\u003eAll Day Permanent Red\u003c\/i\u003e is doomed Hector, the lion, \"slam-scattering the herd\" at the height of his powers. Here is the Greek army rising with a sound like a \"sky-wide Venetian blind.\" Here is an arrow's tunnel, \"the width of a lipstick,\" through a neck. Like Homer himself, Logue is quick to mix the ancient and the new, because his Troy exists outside time, and no translator has a more Homeric interest in the truth of battle, or in the absurdity and sublimity of war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771821056273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780374529291.jpg?v=1783970411","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-all-day-permanent-red-by-christopher-logue","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
