Exploring the depths of Greek mythology, Mark Haddon reinterprets ancient tales with a modern lens. He delves into themes of love, mortality, and the human condition through stories like Eos and Tithonus, where eternal life becomes a burden, and the Minotaur's tale transforms into a poignant reflection on maternal love amidst patriarchal monstrosities. Other narratives address contemporary issues, revealing the timelessness of human struggles. Haddon's prose combines sharp observation with empathy, offering a rich tapestry that connects past and present experiences.
