Emily Wilson Reimagines Odyssey | Spokane News

Professor Emily Wilson, the outspoken critic who called Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” a “sexless dud,” is now tackling a fresh translation of Homer’s epic — ditching the strict poetic rules of her acclaimed 2017 version for a freer, more rhythmic style. With her first translation skyrocketing in sales after Nolan’s film promotion, Wilson is now aiming to capture a new energy in the text, embracing longer lines, richer vocabulary, and repeated phrases — much like her recent “Iliad” work. Her editor is thrilled, calling it a masterwork born from decades of deep engagement with the poem, while fans await what could be her most daring take yet.
