Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
3.0

This weird one is hard to rate. It is a story of two poets in ancient Syracuse who decide to out in a play with the Athenian prisoners in a quarry. I liked the writing style and I like theatre, but I really didn’t like the main character. I felt there were far too many pages devoted to him drinking and complaining. His lack of empathy to the enslaved people he was using as puppets made me uneasy.
