Wednesday reading — Apollo and Dionysus
Jan. 7th, 2015 07:55 pmWhat I've been reading
I read American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America, which is like the more pointed, political and popular version of Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, both of which are excellent in their way.
I read The Scorpio Races, because I thought, I like Maggie Stiefvater! I like horses! However, it turns out that I am slightly less keen on terrifying man-eating horses, though. ( major spoiler ) But, I mean, I did still enjoy it. Because horses.
I read The Bacchae: a New Translation by Robin Robertson, which was an impulse check-out from the new books section at the library. I did like the translation, which seemed like it would be very well-suited to performance, and it has a nice introduction that talks about the meta nature of the play.
