Book 18 — The Beggar King of Ithica

Empires leave stone. Waves erase footprints. Between Torre Salsa and Enna, Book 18 lingers on beaches, olive groves, ancient temples, and the calm that can anaesthetise as effectively as chaos.

Here I begin to judge what endures. Odysseus’ vanity no longer reads as harmless. And yet, not everything is brittle. The Good Kitchen stands as a counterweight.

Book 15: The Prince Sets Sail for Home

After a long pause, The Oidyssey continues. Book 15 is now live: Palermo, Penelope arriving from across the world, Sicily’s shifting light, Canadian anxieties, and the small humiliations of travel.

Book 14: The Loyal Swineherd
I climbed La Rocca in Cefalù with a pork sandwich in my bag and siegecraft on my mind. This chapter has it all: Byzantine cisterns, soft caponata, hips full of regret. https://t.co/4yyPSDkSSm

From a blackout in Naples to the ruins of Pompeii, the climb up Vesuvius, and a quiet ride home — this chapter is about what’s lost, what endures, and what quietly begins again. #oidyssey25 #Pompeii #Vesuvius #TravelWriting

Book 4 of The Oidyssey drops you into the waves of the Amalfi Coast—Positano, Sorrento, and a train ride that bends time. This chapter is a dreamy interlude about myth, motion, and the quiet joy of watching the world go by. #oidyssey25

Book 3 – King Nestor Remembers
I came to Naples as a gateway. I found Yossarian’s ghost, a plate of pasta, and silence where gods used to speak. War, wine, waiting — and moving forward anyway.
