From the author of the international bestseller Life of Pi comes a retelling of the Trojan War from two commoners: an ancient soldier and modern scholar. In this masterpiece of myth, history, and domesticity, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them, and how we live—then, now, and always.
Yann Martel is the author of Life of Pi, the global bestseller that won the 2002 Man Booker Prize and was adapted to the screen in the Oscar-winning film by Ang Lee. He is the author of three other novels: Self, Beatrice & Virgil, and The High Mountains of Portugal, and a short story collection, The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios. He lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
