Author Joyce Carol Oates came to the defense of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” after translator Emily Wilson wrote a viral review attacking the film. “Rather than disagreeing with interpretations of Homer in a collegial manner, this person, who has benefited enormously from Nolan’s film, speaks in the crude language of MAGA folks attacking someone with ideas that differ from hers,” Carol wrote on X. Wilson, who translated a 2017 version of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” slammed Nolan’s take in a review for the London Review of Books. She wrote that the film lacked “psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth” and had “nothing convincing to say.” Nolan previously praised Wilson for her translation of the ancient text.
