There's not much more to say about Christopher Nolan's forthcoming movie, The Odyssey, until it appears this July. Homer fan that I am, I hope the movie turns out to be much better than early indications suggest. If it does, I'll be thrilled my concerns were misplaced. But regardless of how the movie turns out, there's an odd little side story to this whole thing. It might be of interest to SteynOnline readers. The story goes like this: In November 2017, book publisher W. W. Norton & Company released a new translation of The Odyssey. Produced by an unknown classics professor, the new translation in normal times would have attracted little notice. After all, readers that year had a dozen or so credible in-print Odyssey translations to ...

It's hardly news that women have been steadily moving ever further left politically at a pace – "radically" – that far outstrips men, whose views tend to be stable. Especially Gen Z. According to a Gallup poll, women age 18-29 have over the last 25 years stretched a left-leaning gap from their male peers from 12 points to 23 points, nearly double. And although they have passionate "feelings" about their leftist ideals, they tend as a collective to fall short on logic, respect for free speech and intellectual coherence, more so than men. And that is bad news for our society, because women are numerically dominant in just about every social, professional and cultural institution we have. Not to mention politics. I'm writing this column at a ...

Mark Steyn Clubbers may remember last August Mark's discussion of a case in Dundee, Scotland, where sisters were being harassed by migrants, but who were then charged by the local coppers - the girls, not the migrants. The older sister at the time, to protect her younger sister, brandished a knife and an axe. The MSM immediately came to the aid of the migrants, not the girls (ages 14 and 12). Well, today the case was resolved - and good, ol' fashioned justice won the day. The girls - after a torturous year of media attention, legal fees and the like - have been vindicated. And now the tormentors - from Bulgaria - have been found guilty of making sexual remarks to underage girls (the charges should have more, but nevertheless...). Below is ...

Programming note: On May 6th 2017 The Mark Steyn Club slipped quietly onto the Internet, and, unlike many of the noisier online launches of the era, we're still here nine years later. We thank (almost) all our First Week Founding Members for re-upping for a tenth year, and we hope our First Fortnight members will want to do the same as this first week of our new season draws to a close...

Greetings from Ukraine. I'm in the Kharkiv oblast, which the huge numbers of Russian speakers all around prefer to call the Kharkov oblast.
