Circe by Madeline Miller
Details
This venue is a different location from the usual Misajang cafe. This cafe is near exit 1 of Dongdaemun Station :-)
As the daughter of Helios, God of the Sun and mighty Titan, Circe is an outcast. After discovering her aptitude for witchcraft, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island where she hones her craft, tames beasts, and crosses paths with the most famous figures of Greek mythology.
Readers familiar with Greek myths may recognize Circe from several legends, most famously the Odyssey, where she is depicted as a witch who turns men into pigs. Through her novel, Miller seeks to challenge this narrow perspective of Circe and explore her rich history and evolving character.
While our book discussions are usually nonfiction, I thought exploring fictional stories would be an enjoyable and enlightening experience as well! I have heard wonderful things about this novel and I am excited to hear your thoughts and opinions as well!
Note
This meet-up is the exact same meet-up as the November 30th Inner Circle : Book Club meet-up! You only need to sign up for one of these :-)
