“Odysseus In America” By Dr. Jonathan Shay, M.d., Phd, Narrated By Actor,David Strathairn
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.
We happily hosted award-winning actor, David Strathairn in our guest suite for the week of recording for Simon & Schuester Audio.
L to R: Peter Acker, Engineer; Dr. Jonathan Shay; Actor, David Strathairn
