Very short, original account of Lilith in the garden of Eden.
December 20, 2010
I was unfamiliar with the story of Lilith prior to reading Dan's take on it. This is the first piece of his writing that I have read. I had heard wonderful things about Dan's writing but even so, was surprised at how much I liked his style.
I love the character of Lilith. She is unabashedly strong. Beyond her as an individual the relationships between her, Adam, and Eve are a fascinating study in human nature. The dichotomy of the two women intrigues me, as does the theme of Chaos vs Control.
This might have been the first work by Dan Sawyer that I read, but it will be far from the last.
