I did find enjoyment and interest in a few articles such as Revisiting the Myth of Demeter & Persephone by Christine Downing, Psycho-Erotica: Pursuing the Perverse with Madonna by Patricia Reis because it was so dated but readable, Allen Ginsberg in India an interview with Allen Ginsberg, and Coming Back from the Silence an interview with Ursula Le Guin.
However, most of the entries are very dry and just not what I had hoped what the book would be, mostly about mythology using literary theory or other academic disciplines exploring myth and mythology on levels other than religiosity. I really cannot recommend this book at all. ( )
