Book Review: “House of Names” — Back to the Greeks

Colm Tóibín travels back to ancient Greece in House of Names, a vibrant retelling of the tragedy of the House of Atreus.

Brooklyn‘s script neatly consolidates the novel’s trials and tribulations without becoming too saccharine.

In some essential and large way, novelist Colm Tóibin gets Elizabeth Bishop right.
