Brown Girl in London

In Homer's The Odyssey, Ulysses spends 7 years in captivity on Calypso's island. Our tour guide/taxi driver in Gozo showed us the fabled island, which is really more of a cove. Strangely coincidental, I brought the novel Contempt by Alberto Moravia with me to read on the trip and in the plot the main character is a screenplay writer who happens to be working on a script for a screen adaptation of The Odyssey. Weird!
