Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
Anne Carson, I have a lot of questions, but like, in a good way. Why Geryon and Herakles? Why Dickinson and volcanoes? Why loneliness, longing, heartbreak, and immortality? Why, of all things, red again and again?
I don't think I fully understand it, which is why I cannot confidently rate it (yet). But I love it. Haven't read anything like it. Took me a while to get into it but then I didn't want it to end, so I'll probably get back to this sooner rather than later.
