This week sees a return to my themed libraries to look at 'Classics Re-Imagined'. I'll be surveying the ways that authors are updating and bringing new life to the canon. I’ll be exploring the works of writers who have injected new life into the Greek Myths by putting the overlooked female characters at the centre, and taking a very quick run through literary history up to the present - and the future with the reinventions of dystopian fiction.In the first segment, I’ll be exploring the theme and building the space with Ollie, who you might have heard in previous episodes. After the break, I’ll be alone, and surveying some of the major works in this area, and giving some reading recommendations.If you enjoy this episode and would like to find out more about the work that I do with clients to create dedicated spaces for reading and relaxing in their homes, you can find me at www.aroyo.org Or follow me on Instagram @aroyo.pod for podcast announcements, interview snippets, and regular advice on reading and making a home with your books.
