Recounts Laertes' disaster (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relates

'recounts' is the definition.
(relating is a kind of recounting)

'laertes' disaster' is the wordplay.
'disaster' indicates anagramming the letters.
'laertes' with letters rearranged gives 'RELATES'.

(Other definitions for relates that I've seen before include "Narrates" , "Describes" , "Tells (a tale)" , "couples" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
