About the Event:
International bestselling author Yann Martel joins us to discuss his newest work, Son of Nobody, a brilliant retelling of the Trojan War from the perspective of two commoners: an ancient soldier and a modern scholar. He takes us from the plains of Troy to the halls of Oxford, from the classical to the contemporary, all while exploring the universal themes of regret, love, ambition, and grief, no matter the millenia.
