Ithaca, the island of Homer’s Odyssey, has beguiled readers for millennia. In his latest novel, Sea of Many Returns, Arnold Zable takes us to modern-day Ithaca, to its mountains, its villages and its harbours, and into the houses of its people. Sea of Many Returns is a profound meditation on displacement and exile — a story that affirms the enduring resonance of the Odyssey for voyagers of all times. Zable will discuss his latest novel and his journey as a writer with novelist Antoni Jach, who shares his passionate interest in the power of story and the written word.
