À propos de cet audio
Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2023
"Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories.”—Telegraph (UK)
The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships and Pandora's Jar returns with a fresh and stunningly perceptive take on the story of Medusa, the original monstered woman.
They will fear you and flee you and call you a monster.
The only mortal in a family of gods, Medusa is the youngest of the Gorgon sisters. Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows older, experiences change, feels weakness. Her mortal lifespan gives her an urgency that her family will never know.
When the sea god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene’s temple, the goddess is enraged. Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes revenge—on the young woman. Punished for Poseidon’s actions, Medusa is forever transformed. Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone. Cursed with the power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns herself to a life of solitude.
Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . .
In Stone Blind, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one of the earliest stories in which a woman—injured by a powerful man—is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault. Delving into the origins of this mythic tale, Haynes revitalizes and reconstructs Medusa’s story with her passion and fierce wit, offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us today.

Histoire
It's 1942, and as far as her father knows, Evelyn Bishop, heiress to an aeronautics fortune, is working as a translator in London. In truth, Evelyn—daring, beautiful, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages—has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another, she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher, growing ever close to him until the war's end brings with it an act of deep betrayal.

For years, there have been whispers that, before his death, Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait. Curators and art historians have savored this rumor, hoping it could illuminate some of the troubled artist's many secrets, but even they have to concede that the missing painting is likely lost forever. But when Luke Perrone, artist and great-grandson of the man who stole the Mona Lisa, and Alexis Verde, daughter of a notorious art thief, discover what may be the missing portrait, they are drawn into a most epic art puzzles.

London, and then New York, in the '70s and '80s opened up Christine’s world. The creativity, culture, and nightlife were intoxicating, enough so to compel her older brother Laughlin to join her. Once there, the divorced father, veteran, and corporate lawyer met rising fashion star Perry Ellis.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway.

what an excellent eye opening spin of a well known
Wow this makes you really feel for the "monster" Medusa. I love that we can see this myth from her side. She has feelings too and she truly got the short end of the stick in life and death and myth.

Wonderful take on the Medusa myth
Natalie Haynes crafts a poignant, raw, and deeply moving story in “Stone Blind”.
Her tale takes my favourite character from Greek mythology and gives Medusa, at last, the depth and meaning so many of us have seen in her. There are moments of delightful humour. Perseus is rightly NOT the hero of this book, and the love, connection and grief of Medusa’s story brought me close to tears several times. Each new book by Natalie Haynes takes up permanent residence in the library of my soul.

One of the best audio books
Stone Blind by Natalie Hayes
Is monstrously marvelous.
Read by this author it’s absolutely insanely entertaining! She’s so good with the emotion and anger.
I cannot put in words how much I enjoyed this retelling of Medusa. It’s a feminist retelling but honestly it’s very much the only logical editorial of the ancient story.
We remember Medusa being raped, and punished for it. For being raped, not the rapist. If that alone doesn’t upset you, then this novel is not meant for you. If you prefer Perseus as some roaming hero, instead of a bumbling mass murder, then go read the originals. Because here he’s a toxic person. And rightfully so.
I enjoyed the various perspectives and how the ripples of questions and statements play on our actions and view of a situation. And how innocent people are hurt because of larger plans and passing insults.
This book is for anyone who enjoys Greek myth, retelling, feminist retellings, epics, mythology. A trigger warning for rape, and domestic abuse.

Excellent storytelling from multiple perspectives
The story is told from multiple perspectives which I really enjoyed gave life to characters that you hear of in myth but from a different point of view.
