TW: Medical abuse, intimate partner abuse, rape, sexual abuse

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.

I can usually find something good about any book. This is an exception. I picked it up to try and get me into greek mythology again, thinking a shorter story would be good for that. This felt like something from an old time dime novel. It also felt like it would be marked "#deep." I can't put my finger on it quite, but it had a weird sense of something I feel was self-righteousness. Why? Not sure and I don't know what specifically set it off. But it bothered me.

Although it is brief and slightly one-dimenosional, it is a heartbreaking about narcissistic abuse and a feminist reimagining of the “Pygmalion” myth is always welcomed.

I love Miller’s style, voice, and the way she brings myths to life. I’m a sucker for a queer, feminist retelling. She’s one of my top two favorite fiction writers. I was able to read this in one sitting, which was moving and refreshing all at once, but I’d love to see a collection of short stories like this.
