  • Product Description

    The shape–shifting poetry of Ovid’s Metamorphoses has fascinated writers and artists from Shakespeare to Ted Hughes, Rembrandt to Picasso. Their eternal freshness is fused with an ancient charm, driven by the haunting notion that a person’s true nature is revealed when their physical shape is changed. For this dazzling new collection, Philip Terry asked a number of writers simply to take a story from Ovid as their starting point and set their own invention free. The results are startling, scary, sexy, and endlessly illuminating, often changing the shape of the modern short story itself. Here is a box of treasures that will delight, astonish, and entertain, with stories by, among others, Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, and A.S. Byatt.
