thank you Madeline Miller for your work c'était une très belle histoire pour donner une voix à Galatée et j'ai adoré le petit debrief à la fin je voudrais ça après toutes mes lectures

Spoiler

quand elle compare pygmalion à l'incel original alors que c'est une histoire qui a été célébré pour sa "romance" vraiment !!!!! Et je viens de réaliser mais le fait qu'il ne soit jamais nommé dans la nouvelle, comme Galatée n'étais jamais nommée dans le mythe d'Ovide!!!! Dinguerie

Je vais grave relire Circé et/ou le chant d'Achille bientôt 🙏🙏🙏

An absolutely haunting take on Galatea. Gorgeously violent and vindictive, taught with unease, and cathartically healing for survivors (potentially).

Speaking of: survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and/or sexual assault could have PTSD alarms set off. There were parts that deeply nauseated me, but the end is worth it.

emotional inspiring sad

5.0

The world would be better with less( a whole lot less, none if possible) Andrew Tates and more Madeline Millers. I think that's as close to heaven as we can reach.

Once again Madeline Miller carves out a powerful feminist gem! Are we even surprised? 
This was haunting and it was brutal. (*Insert Barbie's feminist speech here*).

That afterword brought tears to my eyes!

I NEED to read Miller's book recommendations.
