Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson Paperback Book

Description: Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Published as a classic for the first time, this is Anne Carsons modern epic poem, an unconventional recreation of an ancient Greek myth and a wholly original coming-of-age story set in the present.This is a volcanic journey into the soul of a winged red monster named Geryon. It is queer coming-of-age love story, a Greek myth retold, and a modern classic.Tormented as a boy by his brother, Geryon escapes to a parallel world of photography. He falls deeply in love with Herakles, a golden young man, who deserts him at the peak of infatuation. So Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, fascinated by his wings, his redness and the fantastic accident of who he is. But all is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by Herakles return.Autobiography of Red is a deceptively simple narrative filled with currents of meaning, emotion, and the truth about what its like to be red. An extraordinary, modern epic poem - moving, disturbing and delightful.Totally engrossing Ocean VuongThis book is amazing - I havent discovered any writing in years thats so marvellously disturbing Alice MunroA profound love story...sensuous and funny, poignant, musical and tender Ruth Padel, New York Times Book Review Author Biography Anne Carson was born in Canada and has been a professor of Classics for over thirty years.
