"Explores the very nature of mythic story-telling." -- Mary Beard , distinguished classicist and international bestselling author "Determinedly irreverent." -- New York Times "Atwood's brilliance emerges in the skillful way she's woven her own research on the anthropological underpinnings of Home's epic into the patterns of her own stylized version of the poem. . . . A fascinating and really attractive version of this old, old story, a creation tale about the founding of our civilization meant to be heard over and over and over." -- NPR "Visually stunning and unforgettable."-- New York Times Book Review "As potent as a curse."-- The Sunday Times "A witty desecration."-- The Observer "Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine."-- The Spectator "Half Dorothy Parker, half Desperate Housewives ." -- The Independent, "As potent as a curse" - Sunday Times "Explores the very nature of mythic story-telling" - MARY BEARD "A witty desecration" - Observer "Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine" - Spectator "Half Dorothy Parker, half Desperate Housewives " - Independent, "Determinedly irreverent" - New York Times "Atwood's brilliance emerges in the skillful way she's woven her own research on the anthropological underpinnings of Home's epic into the patterns of her own stylized version of the poem.

Or as Atwood's Penelope would have it, woven and undone, woven and undone, and woven again." - Alan Cheuse, NPR "Margaret Atwood's "The Penelopiad" shifts the focus away from Odysseus, to put his long-suffering wife, Penelope, and others of less consequence into the foreground. .
