Odysseus in America
Odysseus in America: Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming | Jonathan Shay
4 posts | 6 read | 10 to read
In this ambitious follow-up to Achilles in Vietnam, Dr. Jonathan Shay uses the Odyssey, the story of a soldier's homecoming, to illuminate the pitfalls that trap many veterans on the road back to civilian life. Seamlessly combining important psychological work and brilliant literary interpretation with an impassioned plea to renovate American military institutions, Shay deepens our understanding of both the combat veteran's experience and one of the world's greatest classics.

brendanmleonard I have been really interested in both these books. 8y
Caterina @brendanmleonard Oh, that's exciting! My Ancient Greek class is reading the Odyssey, and I became interested in writing a paper relating to Odysseus as a veteran struggling to readjust to peacetime. My professor told me about this book, and I'm enjoying it and learning a lot from it!! 8y

So excited for this treatment of the Odyssey in the context of veterans' homecomings and psychological injuries! As I reread the Odyssey I was struck by the apparent accuracy of its depiction of veterans' readjustment and trauma, and here is a VA psychiatrist to shed more light on the matter!
