I love retellings of the Gorgon myths & this is a good one. The sister story is emotionally true despite being about immortal creatures.

A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

This is like writer's porn. Hemingway dishes the dirt on Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitz, and many more of the Lost Generation. I'm an avowed Hemingway-hater, but now I have to rethink my entire attitude towards him.
