Metamorphica

A brilliant and daring novel that reimagines Ovids MetamorphosesIn the tradition of his bestselling debut novel The Lost Books of the Odyssey, Zachary Masons Metamorphica transforms Ovids epic poem of endless transformation. It reimagines the stories of Narcissus, Pygmalion and Galatea, Midas and Atalanta, and strings them together like the stars in constellations?even Ovid becomes a story. Its as though the ancient mythologies had been rewritten by Borges or Calvino. Metamorphica is an archipelago in which to linger for a while; it reflects a little light from the morning of the world.
