Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson

Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson

Carson reimagines the ancient Greek monster Geryon, killed by Herakles in myth, as a sensitive, red-winged boy growing up gay in a contemporary-feeling world, tracing his childhood, his intense first love affair with Herakles himself, and the heartbreak that follows.

Written as a novel in verse blending classical scholarship with genuinely tender, strange lyricism, Carson's hybrid form has made the book a landmark of contemporary poetry, taking an obscure ancient myth and finding within it a deeply modern story of first love and otherness.

A landmark work of contemporary poetry, blending classical myth with a modern coming-of-age story.
