(2) YA In this nicely laconic take on the activities of this unusually human Greek divinity, Spinner characterizes Hermes as a likable boy desirous of his father's affection, a person always working for someone else (he's the messenger god, after all) but who has his own emergent inner life. Smart-aleck irony mixed with charm makes Hermes's account a memorable, entertaining avenue into Greek mythology.
