Such a sweet and delicious story. It made me laugh out loud more than once but at the same time didn't shy away from dealing with deeper topics of human nature, good and evil, and civil governance...

The Enlightenment at the Greengage Tree, Shokoofeh Azar
Short and highly satisfying. In this short story, Miller made me think of Galatea in a Gothic Victorian Sanatorium (though I can't say how the author herself pictured it when writing). I found the setting refreshing and perfectly eerie. Once again Miller gives voice to the women who are a nameless footnote in mythology's great texts and I love her for that. I would also highly recommend the comprehensive Author's afterword about how the story came to be, if you can find an edition that features it (I imagine they all would).
