Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
3.0
Well that sure happened. But why?
I enjoyed the poetry and the premise but not the story.
I liked the very Anne-Carson-y “if…then…” poem at the beginning. I liked the descriptions of the places and weather and voices and feelings. But I could not have cared less about the story and that feels like a failure.
Maybe I’ll have to try again.
I did like how it made my brain function.
