This short story by Madeline Miller feels right at home in her bibliography. Sadly it lacks the immersive depth that's characteristic of Miller, which is to be expected from the chosen format. I liked the portrayal of the "ancient incel", but wish there was more nuance to be found within the work. Again, a product of the format.
