Nolan’s Odyssey Sparks a Homeric Comeback in Books and Audio
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a global hit that reignites interest in Homer, driving a surge in print sales (UK editions up about 700% YoY) and audiobook listens as Emily Wilson’s translation and new narrations by Stephen Fry and Ian McKellen gain traction. Waterstones reports strong demand, while critics praise the IMAX 70mm experience but note Nolan omits some essential themes, with Gen Z and millennials fueling the audiobook surge.
