This book can be a bit difficult to understand at times. Anne Carson’s writing style could be seen as her largest strength or greatest weakness. It is unique and offers a fascinating view point, but it can be very daunting. You have to pay attention to the small details to understand the larger story and that can be hard.
Overall, I enjoyed this but got a bit confused at times. Definitely a unique read.

INCREDIBLE I love crazy people ❤️
“Shall we sharpen our eyes and circle closer to the beauty of the husband—
carefully, for he was on fire.
under him the floor was on fire,
the world was on fire,
truth was on fire.
Around him green fire blew straight off every tree.”

I started reading this when I was younger, so I didn’t understand a whole lot. I liked the writing style and will probably pick it up when I have the time.

Poesía que llega al alma. Hermoso y triste. Anne Carson es una gran escritora y su original forma de relatarnos esta historia de (des) amor lo demuestra mucho
