A review by svblvna
Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson

challenging reflective fast-paced

3.0

what a strange book. the writing was beautiful, yes, and the format interesting but the story was not nearly as devastating as i'd been told. in fact i didn't really feel much for any of the characters.

it's a shame the story takes so little from the myth except for names. maybe i'm not familiar enough with this particular myth and i've missed some references but i would've liked a more poignant ending, i was expecting more.
