Anne Carson - Autobiography of Red

from ME READING STUFF · host Robyn O'Neil

"The world poured back and forth between their eyes once or twice." Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson is in my list of the Top 5 Books I'd Recommend to Absolutely Anyone. It's tragic, obsessive love. It's cruelty and confusion. It's brave and brilliant. And dear Geryon is the most lovable main character I've ever read. And the structure of this book - A NOVEL IN VERSE - perfection. GOD LOVES LOLA,Robynp.s. so sorry for the horrible German pronunciations!
