In his debut novel, Glorious Exploits, author Ferdia Lennon takes a fresh approach to his retelling of The Sicilian Expedition, a time when thousands of Athenians were held as prisoners in a Syracuse quarry. Lennon makes this 2000-year-old story accessible through his use of contemporary Irish dialect.
I recently spoke with Ferdia Lennon about his love of the classics, the power of art and drama, and narrating his own audiobook.
