An SBMA Parallel Stories presenter, writer Colm Tóibín gives a powerful retelling of the classic Greek tragedy of Clytemnestra and her children in his book House of Names. Tóibín brings a modern sensibility and language to an ancient classic and gives this extraordinary character new life, so that we not only believe Clytemnestra’s thirst for revenge, but applaud it. He brilliantly inhabits the mind of one of Greek myth’s most powerful villains to reveal the love, lust, and pain she feels.
