How do you reinvent the Greek myths or more specifically if you're Stephen Fry?

How do you reinvent the Greek myths?

Stephen Fry will be here to talk about his latest book, Heroes, The Greek Myths Reimagined.

Which books can readers turn to to get a deeper understanding of issues around race and

racism in America?

My colleagues Lauren Christensen and Angela Valley will join us to discuss.

Alexander Alter will give us an update from the publishing world.

Plus we'll talk about what we and the wider world are reading.

This is the Booker View Podcast from The New York Times.

It's June 12th.

I'm Pamela Paul.

Stephen Fry joins us now from the countryside in England.

His newest book is called Heroes, The Greek Myths Reimagined.

Stephen, thank you so much for being here.

It's a real pleasure, Pamela.

Nice to talk to you.

I don't usually do this, but I'm going to start with a little bit of gushing on a somewhat

different topic, but it's a literary topic at least.

I remember first seeing you in the film Wild when it came out in 1997.

I was living in London in the time.

I had only recently read Richard Elman's biography of Wild.

And I know you're a huge fan of Oscar Wilde.
