ODYSSEE is us. They’re all the books that remain and all the stories that are told. They’re the words that arise from a “Homer” so they linger in everyone’s imagination, echoing in a time that goes by faster and faster.
We view the journey as an adage for this “essay,” which is no more than an attempt at any other Odyssey.
It’s a tumble into heroic events, legends, creatures and Gods that becomes the reality of our daily life: an essay. From an Ithaca to a room, from a ship to a car, from one single Ulysses … to a thousand. This is ODISSEE, a place open to an essay that repeats itself boundlessly.
