Autobiography of Red

“smart and sweet and tender and original. erotic, but just under your skin. once gifted by a lover, who asked for it back at the end of our term. it's that good.”

“A novel in verse, a recreation of a Greek myth, a boy coming-of-age in a sometimes mythical, sometimes mundane world.”

“I never would have imagined a Greek myth could be so seamlessly, radically reinterpreted. A semiotic love story, told in verse, that reads the way a Wong Kar Wai film feels. Where has Anne Carson been all my life?”
