Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books.
Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write.
For this episode, Red is joined by Champion of the Classics, Natalie Haynes. Through her best-selling novels, her sell-out stand-up comedy performances, and eight series of her hit radio show, Natalie has brought the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome to legions of new fans. Her novels The Children of Jocasta and A Thousand Ships retold the Greek myths of Oedipus and Antigone, and the Trojan War respectively, reshaping the stories by placing women at their hearts. And her latest novel,
Stone Blind, reveals a new side to the seemingly familiar myth of Perseus and The Gorgon, Medusa. Not only does it put male power under the spotlight but it explores how we create monsters out of our fear of the unknown. And best of all for fans of Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics, she narrates the audiobook version of Stone Blind herself!
Join Natalie and Red as they discuss petulant gods, sympathetic monsters and blind characters in Ancient Greek literature.
