Like any great short fiction, this quickly riled me up then left me deeply satisfied—the ultimate “good for her” ending. I don’t believe you need to have read or know anything about Pygmalion to appreciate this. But knowing the premise of the Pygmalion myth, and the fact that Miller names Galatea and leaves Pygmalion unnamed (a reversal of the original story) makes this short retelling even better. This one’s certainly for the girls
I also loved Miller’s author’s note at the end. The last paragraph? POETRY I TELL YOU
