Stone blind by natalie haynes5/8/2023 Enough to know that the hero isn’t the one who’s kind or brave or loyal. I see all those who men call monsters.Īnd I see the men who call them that. Haynes uses Medusa to explore natures of the monstrous. Her novel Stone Blind focusses on Medusa, not the monstrous creature of the Clash of the Titans but the victim of her own parents’ rejection of her, the victim of Poseidon’s rape, the victim of Athena’s rage and pride, the victim of Perseus’ quest… and yet discovering a terrible strength and power in those abuses. Along with that and her Instgram Ovid not Covid the days of lockdown sped by! I love Natalie Haynes since discovering her on BBC Radio 4s Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics which is a sheer delight that I discovered just before lockdown in 2020 and promptly devoured the back catalogue on BBC Sounds.
