Pros

Illuminating, moving this feels true. While it is deeply disturbing, the brilliant writing makes it a fabulous read. I wish it was longer as it took maybe 30 minutes to read! Especially for the price.

Galatea is a short story by madeline miller. It is a retelling of the story of pygmalion and his statue galatea.

Cons

This seems incomplete. Not in the good pensive way- but in the annoying, unfinished way. This story is so unbelievably short, it is about a nickel's worth of reading.
