Oates Defends Nolan’s Odyssey Against Translator’s Viral Critique

Joyce Carol Oates publicly defended Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey after translator Emily Wilson posted a widely shared critical review, accusing Wilson of dismissiveness and aligning her comments with a crude political stance. Oates urged translators to be thoughtful toward others who offer different interpretations and praised Nolan’s film (and Coppola’s 1997 miniseries) as valid reimaginings of Homer. Wilson’s London Review of Books critique had argued the film lacks depth, time, memory, and ethical nuance, while Universal’s The Odyssey continues to perform strongly at the box office and is expected to dip when Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives.

Ohtani expressed gratitude for the Dept. of Justice's investigation and is focused on baseball. The Dodgers see Mizuhara's court appearance as providing clarity and are optimistic about Ohtani's performance.

Shohei Ohtani's Ex-Interpreter in Plea Deal Talks Over Alleged Theft

Shohei Ohtani's former translator, Ippei Mizuhara, is reportedly discussing a plea deal related to the alleged theft of $4.5m from the Los Angeles Dodgers star to pay off gambling debts. Mizuhara's plea agreement would include an admission that corroborates Ohtani’s version of the events, stating that Ohtani never wagered on sports and was the victim of a "massive theft" by his former friend. Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers after initially claiming that Ohtani aided him in paying off his debts, but later admitted to the theft. The investigation involved the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, and the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
