Danish literary critic and historian Keld Zeruneith, here with his wife, the distinguished writer Suzanne Brogger, was honored last night by The Overlook Press with a reception at the home of Publisher Peter Mayer. On hand for the festivities were our friends from the Danish Consulate, including Consul General Torben Getterman, Danish novelist Christian Jungersen, New Yorker writer and author Judith Thurman, Lewis Lapham of Lapham's Quarterly, and Overlook editor David Shoemaker.

In a powerful and provocative work of scholarship, The Wooden Horse: The Liberation of the Western Mind from Odysseus to Socrates, Danish literary critic Keld Zeruneith offers a magnificent new survey of Greek myth, religion, poetry, drama, and philosophy. When Odysseus conceived the so-called "Wooden Horse" to overcome the stalemate in the Trojan War, something more profound was being established: resolution through strategic thinking rather than brute physical conflict. Kirkus Reviews calls The Wooden Horse a "sweeping, accessible inquiry to what the makers of classical Greek literature were thinking about." Zeruneith, a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters and a lecturer at the University of Copenhagen for over thirty years, will be honored at a reception hosted by Overlook Publisher Peter Mayer on October 30 in New York.
