Psyche (Greek deity)
2 Reviews
(2)
YA
Although Lester has sexed up the title by focusing on the more lubricious of the pair, what he presents is a fairly straightforward retelling of "Cupid and Psyche." What distinguishes this version is the garrulous, worldly-wise narrator. Well-attuned to the current zeitgeist on love, Lester creates a practical navigational chart for those newly embarking on romance's stormy seas.

YA
In this free-verse novel, teen actress Psyche falls in love with Eros. Greek deities easily make themselves at home in Block's LA, a city filled with beauty and tragedy of mythic proportions. Like the myths it reinvents, this hallucinatory story is over the top and full of darkness yet bright with the possibility of transformation.
