Why this must be read: Another short but powerful story. This one really digs into the darker side of The Tempest, exploring the controlling side of Prospero and even examining the racism inherent in a story set on a tropical island where the "natives" are somehow all either slaves or villains. The beauty of it is that it's done intensely, in a series of exquisitely crafted little snippets, rich with information and haunting in their simplicity.
He charmed Caliban with his own magic, with books and pictures, tricks of physics, and he forgot longing for women. Caliban was smooth-skinned and dark and beautiful, and Prospero chose not to be alone forever. Caliban’s eyes were dark when Prospero beckoned, but he never said ‘no’. Prospero may have forgotten how to teach him the word.
