Chimera

This is a meta-book connecting three novellas, all three of which are rewritten versions of ancient stories: The Thousand and One Nights, followed by the Greek myths of Perseus, then Bellerophon. There is more than one narrator, and sometimes there is some comic disagreement about whose story it is, anyway. This is clever and very amusing, though in my humble opinion, there were parts that went on a bit long--but then, the author does seem to be pointing out that--some tales do go on too long.

It's a fascinating read, nothing like I've read before, and I'm not going to attempt to give this a star rating, since it seems to stand out there all alone. (Besides, Pegasus and Perseus are already constellations).
