Autobiography of Red
Anne Carson
In Autobiography of Red, poet Anne Carson reimagines an ancient Greek myth as a coming-of-age story set in the present. Follow Geryon, a young boy who is also a winged red monster, as he navigates his abusive brother, ineffectual mother, and the pain of his desire. This stunning work combines poetry and novel to create a profound love story that is both whimsical and haunting, erudite and accessible."
