About this title

Synopsis

"All Day Permanent Red" is the fourth installment of Christopher Logue's account of the "Iliad", the first three of which were collected in "Homer: War Music" (2001). In this new episode, Logue focuses upon the various battle scenes of the classic text, further testifying to the standing of these translations as a modern landmark in their own right.
