This was gorgeous and devastating. One of the things I love about Miller’s work is how in grounding mythology in a pragmatic reality the subtext becomes text. The brutal reality of being a woman literally created by a man resonates deeply and reflects the harrowing reality of women’s relationships with men.
Ruth Wilson’s narration was (as always) beautifully nuanced, breathing life into Galatea.

There are scenes of forced role play, and the short story ends with a drowning of Pygmalion and Galatea.emilyann15's review
