Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey were not the only ancient tales of the Trojan War—there were others, now vanished but for echoes and fragments, in what is known as the Epic Cycle. In Son of Nobody, Yann Martel imagines one such tale, the Psoad, an epic that follows a goatherd’s son, Psoas of Midea, who leaves his wife and family to fight at Troy. Psoas meets his doom, and the poem of his life is lost—until a Canadian academic studying at Oxford, Harlow Donne, discovers its relics thirty centuries later.

The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.

Dialogues on Revelation with John the Apostle presents an imagined dialogue between the author and John the apostle, who just received a revelation from the Lord Jesus. Is it possible to know what John might have answered to some of our questions about the book of Revelation? It is possible since we have John’s Gospel, three of his epistles, and the Old and New Testaments. Would we receive the answers from John that we hope for or expect?
