Kentauros Author:Gregory Feeley "Kentauros," by Gregory Feeley, is a bravura piece of work-part essay, part novella, and part poetry, ranging from the mythological past to the beer commercials of today, it is a cerebral, funny, and moving investigation of the story of the origin of centaurs and why it has fallen into obscurity. "Kentauros is remarkable," writes John Crowley; "... more »a hybrid like the centaur, witty, antique in its elegance: essay and fiction combined into something strange and marvelous. The speculations of someone like Roberto Calasso, or Calasso's own less rambling forebear Robert Graves, joined to fiction in two different intersecting modes, a Jane Austen-like take on the Byronic, and a modern take on the mythic." Feeley is the author of several novellas, most recently "Arabian Wine."« less
