Description: Until the Lions : Echoes from the Mahabharata, Paperback by Nair, Karthika, ISBN 1939810361, ISBN-13 9781939810366, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "A dazzling and eloquent reworking of the Mahabharata, the ancient Asian epic, through nineteen voices on the periphery. With daring poetic forms, Karthika Naèir breathes life into this ancient epic. In Until the Lions, Karthika Naèir retells the Mahabharata through the embodied voices of women and marginal characters, so often conquered and destroyed throughout history. She captures the richness and complexity of the Mahabharata, while illuminating lives buried beneath the edifices of one of the world'smost venerated books. Through shifting poetic forms, ranging from pantoums to Petrarchan sonnets, Naèir choreographs the cadences of stray voices. And with a passionate empathy, she tells of nameless soldiers, their despairing spouses and lovers, a cannyempress, an all-powerful god, and a gender-shifting outcast warrior. Until the Lions is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic"--
