What is Saint Medusa about?

In these meticulously shaped short fictions and meditations, Peter Caputo has released his writer's imagination on elemental themes and modern emblems both. The resultant variety among the twenty-six pieces collected here - anxiety and insight, the esoteric and the sensual, the human and the celestial - is knit into a whole by the strange energy they share, an atavistic vigor, the same which emanates from the primal source even in the mundane spaces of our daily lives. In the first of the book's three sections, Caputo treats with the parent material, myth itself, with its mysterious development over thousands of years. In Part Two, he listens (and we listen) for the echoes of myth in the discourse of modern consciousness. Finally, the stories of the last section make contact with mythology's even more mysterious link backwards to the prime event, older than the Greek soil itself: the Ignited Word that sets all things in motion. The stories of Saint Medusa, like the fiction of Borges, embrace the "character of unreality in all literature."
