Yann Martel's new book 'Son of Nobody' provides a dual narrative surrounding the Trojan War

In the new book ‘Son of Nobody,’ Yann Martel offers a compelling dual narrative that is immediately striking and unusual on the page. At once a retelling of the trojan war and a heart wrenching record of modern grief and ambition; Martel’s novel grapples with questions of history and mythology whose stories deserve to be told, how do we make meaning in the face of fate’s random cruelty, and chaos.
