Enjoyed the writing and this retelling. Loved seeing the tangential connection to the Less novel.

One thing about me: I love to be sad. I love crying! I love depressing myself! Thank you Andrew Sean Greer for always giving me the opportunity to engage in my favorite activities!!!

Uma reescritura do mito de Calypso com ficção científica e relacionamentos homoafetivos. Achei uma versão bem gostosa da ler. Adoro mitologia, e gosto muito das reescrituras de um modo geral.
