In the 1930s, two young American scholars journey to Albania to research the oral epics of Homer. Mistaken for foreign spies, the two find themselves under the surveillance of a near-sighted informer. Research and intrigue proceed, but soon involve a Servian monk who plots a violent end to the project. A work of inventive genius from the acclaimed author of The Pyramid, The Palace of Dreams, and other works.
