– The Times
Derrek Hines’s version of the Gilgamesh Epic is not so much a translation as a vibrant and vigorous reimagining of the world’s first book, which should take its place alongside Heaney’s Beowulf and Hughes’s Ovid on the shelf of revivified classics.
– The New Statesman
This version of Gilgamesh sounds like a rock band attacking a Bach concerto, with jarring but thrilling results. His flamboyance and daring make this a delight to read.
