After ten years' journeying Odysseus returns, again and again, to Ithaca. Each time he finds something different: his patient wife Penelope has betrayed him and married; his arrival accelerates time and he watches his family age and die in front of him; and, he walks into an empty house in ruins.

A brilliant and daring novel that reimagines OvidΓÇÖs MetamorphosesIn the tradition of his bestselling debut novel The Lost Books of the Odyssey, Zachary MasonΓÇÖs Metamorphica transforms OvidΓÇÖs epic poem of endless transformation. It reimagines the stories of Narcissus, Pygmalion and Galatea, Midas and Atalanta, and strings them together like the stars in constellationsΓÇöeven Ovid becomes a story. ItΓÇÖs as though the ancient mythologies had been rewritten by Borges or Calvino; Metamorphica is an archipelago in which to linger for a while; it reflects a little light from the morning of the world.
