Kora Ka: Novella with "Mira-Mare" by Hilda Doolittle
4.0
Didn't mind the parts where the author actually discussed the Greek myths and their modern relevance. The chapter on harpies was a highlight even if most of the feminist analysis seemed pretty surface level. I'm not a Greek myths expert so I can't speak as to the accuracy.
What I strongly disliked and in fact annoyed the hell out of me was the attempts to turn the book into a memoir, with the author shoehorning in their own nonsense about their lives which felt mostly irrelevant and at times incredibly irritating. I wanted Greek myths and feminism, not whole chapters of dull navel-gazing about a music video the author watched twenty years ago.
