Stop that barking and hissing!

January 1, 2026

…the entire book is worth reading for Chapter xxvi, “The Chorus Line: The Trial of Odysseus, as Videotaped by the Maids.”

Judge: What’s going on? Order! Order! This is a twenty-first-century court of justice! You there, get down from the ceiling! Stop that barking and hissing! Madam, cover up your chest and put down your spear!

Wouldn’t it have been fun to have been in the gallery for that prosecution?

from my review of Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad.
