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.

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

Growing up I have always thought their tale was the only one that ended happily, yet as many others before me have pointed out: men who want women to be perfect are asking for an impossible task that not even the gods can fulfill without the harrowing cost.
