With the arguable exception of Brad Pitt's casting as Achilles, this ebook is the most perverse thing to happen to Homer in millenia. Written by Michael Gall (who also did The Sexual Life of Robinson Crusoe), A Beside Odyssey presents a revised Ulysses (of "The Thousand Shots"), and his many romps with nymphs, goddesses, thousand-holed sirens, and of course Circe. The work is also notable for an hysterical preface by Girodias himself, and some great alliterative titles, like The Nymphomaniacal Nymph. You have to really love Homer to write a book like this, but you'll be glad Michael Gall did. Additional: This title was almost one of the first ebooks Olympiapress.com ever added. However, perusing the chapters led us to discover why New English Library Olympia reprints, despite Maurice's name on the cover, go so cheaply these days. Save your 10 and avoid any of the bowdlerized stuff published by that venture in the mid-'60s.
