Description
A bawdy and comic trio of novellas, John Barth brings his signature wit to three tales often told. Scheherazade's story of survival through storytelling is reimagined alongside Perseus' quest to slay Medusa, and Bellerophon's perilous ride on Pegasus.
These novellas, a National Book Award winner, offer a fresh take on familiar stories, injecting humor and wit into the fabric of mythology. With Barth's unique voice, readers will find themselves immersed in these reimagined tales.
Paperback edition, 302 pages.
