Madeline Miller is so incredible. Her afterwards always add so much to the story and this one was no exception.

Nothing too revolutionary, but a solid feminist take in the Pygmalion story, and well executed as a short story. Further proof that Miller should have just written anything but The Song of Achilles.

Miller does it againnnn.

A thoughtful contemporary adaptation of Galatea, which feels uncomfortably potent with the rise of incel culture.

This was good. I just wish the ending had a 'happier' ending.
