Derrek Hines does (for Gilgamesh) what West Side Story did for Romeo and Juliet

– 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.
