In my new substack I try and make sense of the Emily Wilson, Tomi Adeyemi and Black Panther internet storms, which all seem to me to circle round the question WHO OWNS A GREAT STORY? Would love feedback. #BookSky #TheOdyssey #EmilyWilson #BlackPanther open.substack.com/pub/thedread...
Who Owns a Great Story?
What the Emily Wilson, Tomi Adeyemi, and Black Panther internet storms teach us much about story and tribalism. Just not what you think.

The Criterion closet is not going to survive The Odyssey promotional tour. If they let just one more cast or crew member in they’ll be completely depleted.
Well, if the Sirens turn up, it is every man for himself.
Tab@tabfried.bsky.social · 7d ago20 minutes into the Odyssey on IMAX, sirens started up and they evacuated the theater. So still haven’t seen the movie, but just like the main character of the movie (Tom Holland I presume based on what I saw), my journey continues!
The venom of these critics on the question of the Odyssey and each other is so eighteenth century I love it!!! We are in Whig vs Tory land!!! We are in The Dunciad!!! And it’s all about the ancients vs moderns as well

Saw #THEINVITE last night and it was great on modern marriage & loneliness. A wonderful illustration of how to make a chamber piece cinematic. Director/star Olivia Wilde uses space, lighting, frame and lenses to tell the story as much as Rashida Jones & Will McCormack’s excellent script does.

It's nice to wake up to find yourself having cracked the top ten. Obviously, this is in one of Amazon's very specific subcategories, immigration fiction, but I don't hate my companions, not least The Extraordinary Flesh by my old classmate David Zsalay.

Dave Rudden@daveruddenwrites.bsky.social · 3w agoHappy pub day to @arvd.bsky.social for his wonderful debut, THE GREAT GAME! Arvind was a brilliant collaborator on our efforts to bring KOTBD to screen, and this wry, anti-colonial caper is a little Kim Newman, a little Alan Moore, and all him. I'm very excited for it to be out in the world.
