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.'Totally engrossing' Ocean Vuong'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 ReviewLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 200gAuthor: Anne CarsonGenre: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
