About xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths

<i>Fifty leading writers retell myths from around the world in this dazzling follow-up to the bestselling <b>My Mother She Killed Me,</b> <b>My Father He Ate Me</b>. Icarus flies once more. Aztec jaguar gods again stalk the earth. An American soldier designs a new kind of Trojan horse — his cremains in a bullet.&nbsp;</i><p>Here, in beguiling guise, are your favourite mythological figures alongside characters from Indian, Punjabi, Inuit, and other traditions. Aimee Bender retells the myth of the Titans. <b><i>Elizabeth McCracken</i></b> retells the myth of Lamia, the child-eating mistress of Zeus. <b><i>Madeline Miller</i></b> retells the myth of Galatea. <b><i>Kevin Wilson</i></b> retells the myth of Phaeton, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. <b><i>Emma Straub</i></b> and <b><i>Peter Straub</i></b> retell the myth of Persephone. <b><i>Heidi Julavits</i></b> retells the myth of Orpheus and Euridice. <b><i>Ron Currie, Jr.</i></b> retells the myth of Dedalus. <b><i>Maile Meloy</i></b> retells the myth of Demeter. <b><i>Zachary Mason</i></b> retells the myth of Narcissus. <b><i>Joy Williams</i></b> retells the myth of Argos, Odysseus’ dog.&nbsp;</p><p>If “xo” signals a goodbye, then <b>xo Orpheus</b> is a goodbye to an old way of mythmaking. Featuring talkative goats, a cat lady, a bird woman, a beer-drinking ogre, a squid who falls in love with the sun, and a girl who gives birth to cubs, here are extravagantly imagined, bracingly contemporary stories, heralding a new beginning for one of the world’s oldest literary traditions.</p>
