Laura Kolb makes such a compelling argument for the eloquence, clarity and necessity of reading Emily Wilson’s beautifully written notes in order to more perfectly understand the Iliad, I very nearly smashed the cat’s ribcage in my rush to reach the bookcase so I could read her incredible notes! Thank you!

Lovely work as always, Ann. Your cri de coeur today about the evisceration of the Washington Post was heartbreaking. We will support you without question. Sending love.

Beautiful and moving evaluation. I couldn't help but think of the thick batches of Gibbon's notes, often untranslated from the Latin, but somehow always worth reading.
