Top book of 2024 watch - Dayspring by #AnthonyOliveira (April 2024)

"Oliveira brings to vibrant, glorious life the gospel according to the disciple Christ loved—his companion in the days before the crucifixion, the only instrument that remembers with fidelity his sound. Sacred, profane, and rich with explicit desire and a poetic attention to form...Seamlessly blending fiction, memoir, and verse in the exhilarating tradition of #AnneCarson and #MadelineMiller ..."

Just finished reading Circe by Madeline Miller and loved every page of it. It was a perfect read while memories of Stephen Fry's Heroes and Mythos are still fresh (haven't got to Troy yet). The stories of dysfunctional Olympic families told from a modern perspective feel in the same vein as Supergiant Games' Hades (which is also one of my favourite games of recent years, in no small part because of its writing). #Circe #MadelineMiller #StephenFry #Mythos #SupergiantGames #Hades #GreekMythology

Recent favorites :-)

Finally reading Circe by Madelyn Miller. Great takes on some timeless, entertaining Greek myths.There's a lot missing from our education on Greek myths if, like me, you were raised with those tame anthologies published in the 1940s, etc. (for instance, there's much lgbtq+ goings on in the original stories)! Fun read! #Circe #mythology #madelinemiller

Naar het idee van @mdevrieze ga ik een toot maken per gelezen boek in 2023.

Boek 1: “The Song of Achilles” van Madeline Miller.
Prijzen: 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction
Beoordeling: 5⭐️

Het eerste boek dat ik in 2023 gelezen heb is direct een prachtstuk. Madeline Miller vertelt op een prachtige manier het verhaal van prins Patroclus, die meer dan vrienden wordt met prins Achilles.

Terminado #LaCancionDeAquiles de #MadelineMiller me encanta la mitología y la forma en la que Madeline escribe.
Me he leído #Circe #Galatea y me leeré todo lo que siga escribiendo Miller. Qué maravilla.

“Mistress?” the leader would say. “Do not tell me that such a beauty as yourself dwells all alone?”..No sign of brothers or fathers or sons, no vengeance that would follow after. If I were valuable to anyone, I would not be allowed to live alone..I savored their confusion, their dawning fear...Their screams broke into squeals... their piggy eyes still wet with the last of their human tears... #Circe

My favourite book is ‘The Song of Achilles’ and have just finished the bite-sized wonder that is ‘Galatea’. It’s the tale of a statue bought to life in #AncientGreece only to struggle profoundly under the hardship of the patriarchy. A sublime reimagining of/response to the Pygmalion story. Wondering what it would take to get the brilliant #MadelineMiller on Mastodon…
