Description
Bright Air Black brings a fresh perspective to an ancient tale. This reimagining of Medea's story takes us aboard the ship Argo as it returns journey across the Black Sea, from Persia's Colchis where Medea flees her home and father with Jason.
David Vann's prose is both poetic and realist, offering a thrilling alternative to traditional notions of Medea. We witness Medea's humanity, her roots in Greek society, her love affair with Jason, and her tragic demise, all with dramatic urgency.
This is an intimate and corporal take on one of our earliest texts, told in a way that is both atmospheric and spellbinding. Bright Air Black is a provocative retelling of Medea's story that will appeal to readers looking for a new perspective on this ancient tale.
