SYNOPSIS
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 it’s like to be red. An extraordinary, modern epic poem - moving, disturbing and delightful.

'This book is amazing - I haven't discovered any writing in years that's so marvellously disturbing' Alice Munro
‘A profound love story...sensuous and funny, poignant, musical and tender’ Ruth Padel, New York Times Book Review

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anne Carson
Anne Carson (21 de junho de 1950) é uma poeta, ensaísta, tradutora e professora de clássicos canadiana. Carson viveu em Montreal vários anos e lecionou na Universidade McGill, na Universidade de Michigan e na Universidade de Princeton, de 1980 a 1987. Foi bolsista do Guggenheim em 1998 e, em 2000, recebeu uma bolsa da MacArthur. Também ganhou um prémio literário Lannan.Em 1986, Carson publicou o seu primeiro livro, Eros the Bittersweet. Nomeado um dos 100 melhores livros de não-ficção de todos os tempos pela Biblioteca Moderna, o livro traça o conceito de "eros" na Grécia antiga através das suas representações na poesia da época. Carson considera seriamente como os desejos triangulares e miméticos foram representados na poesia de Safo, bem como a relação de Eros com a solidão. Famosamente, Carson analisa o Fragmento 31 de Safo como representando "eros como adiado, desafiado, obstruído, com fome, organizado em torno de uma ausência radiante - para representar eros como falta".
