Happy to be one of the Jewish writers who's signed this letter.
"We refuse the false choice between Jewish safety and Palestinian freedom; between Jewish identity and ending the oppression of Palestinians. In fact, we believe the rights of Jews and Palestinians go hand-in-hand."

When I was in college, I read the dusty old Lattimore *Odyssey* and loved it. I’ve never read *The Iliad* but I’m so excited to read Emily Wilson’s new translation. This bit from Wilson’s Translator’s Note is bracing and alive!!
Thank you to Charlotte Rosen and @publicbooks.bsky.social for publishing a section from my Translator's Note for the Iliad. If you're curious about my approach, please check it out!
