[ SOLD OUT ] ALDEN, M., Para-Narratives in the Odyssey. Stories in the Frame. Oxford University Press, 2017. 438p. Hardback. Alden's writing is consistently clear, brisk, and lively: there is no jargon, no great tangled nightmare sentences of fifteen sub-clauses in a heap. There are nice flickers of humour-I particularly enjoyed her dry observation that 'eating your guests is an extreme way of detaining them' (p. 38). The book is a pleasure to read; even the passages of plot synopsis zip along. Matt Hosty, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 01/04/2019 |a 08/04/2019 (Publisher's information).
