Army Of The Brave And Accidental

Synopsis

A Genre-bending Retelling Of The Odyssey, Army Of The Brave And Accidental Is A Modern Fable: A Story About Relationships, Parenthood, And Trying To Have An Impact On The World Told From The Shifting Perspectives Of Ten Characters. A Hundred Years After James Joyce Stitched Together A Version Of The Epic Tale, Canadian Writer And Essayist Alex Boyd Updates The Story As A Reflection Of Canadian Twenty-first-century Culture, Allowing It To Take A Radically Different Cultural Snapshot. These Reimaginings Newly Create And Colour A Contemporary View Of Modern Love Without Compromising Any Of The Pitfalls Or Exaltations. Army Of The Brave And Accidental Is Funny, Deft, Wise And Poetic All At Once.-- Alex Boyd.
