Anthony
Doerr, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for All the Light We Cannot See, has written another fascinating novel.
This one depicts four characters spread across time who all have a mystical
connection surrounding the ancient Greek fictional character of Aethon. Their lives follow Aethon’s journey, a character
credited to Aristophanes' comedy “The Birds.”
A supreme undertaking which Doerr himself
says he almost abandoned many times, has nevertheless been lauded and
critically acclaimed. I both read and listened to the novel in order to keep
the time shifts and characters straight. Well worth it.
