More about the book
The book revitalizes the Garden of Eden myth through sophisticated poetry and a feminist lens, emphasizing themes of freedom and consciousness. It employs literary analysis and modern theories, including Freudian concepts, to dissect the narrative line by line. The author suggests that the original writer, likely a woman in Judah around 1000 BCE, utilized sound associations and puns to convey deeper messages. Ultimately, the work reveals how this ancient myth continues to resonate with contemporary issues surrounding sex, death, freedom, and limitation.
