    But mythology speaks to us as much today as it did to people back then, and the stories and the lessons that it contains are just as applicable to our modern world. This book asks authors to retell or re-imagine their favorite myth, recasting ancient gods and heroes in their roles in the modern world, and creating new myths in the process, new forms for the old stories. Review: I love mythology, and stories that use mythology in new ways. The old stories still have power for me, and I love authors that can harness that power and use it to make something new.

    So this book should have been a lock for me, but in trying to make the stories new and modern and dark and edgy, I felt like a lot of the stories really lost something — whatever it is about the myths that I connected to in the first place. But I found the unrelenting bleakness of so many of the stories in this book kind of disheartening, and disquieting, and it made this book not entirely satisfying, and often times hard to want to go back to and read more.

    There were some stories I really liked. Several stories in this volume re-imagine Persephone as a child shuffling between divorced parents, and two of them really stood out for me. But the characters in this one were vivid, the imagery was beautiful, and it was one of the few stories that left the reader with at least a spark of hope. The stories that I had the hardest time with, and frequently wound up skimming or skipping, were those that were translated from other languages mostly French. Maybe something got lost in translation, or maybe modernist French literature is just not for me, but these stories were just not my cup of tea.

    All Rights Reserved. I think I had a lot of goodwill for the collection as a concept, which made it easier for me to overlook its flaws. Anyway, I think you can safely conclude at this point that a Kate Bernheimer collection is not your thing, excellent titles and cool covers notwithstanding. Jenny — Argh, yes, I should conclude that, but I know that I will probably keep trying as long as she keeps coming up with ideas that sound like I should like them, even though I know better.
