{"product_id":"anne-carson-autobiography-of-red-2026","title":"Anne Carson: Autobiography of Red [2026]","description":"** WINNER OF THE 2026 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE **\u003cbr\u003eThis is a volcanic journey into the soul of a winged red monster named\u003cbr\u003eGeryon. It is queer coming-of-age love story, a Greek myth retold, and a\u003cbr\u003emodern classic.\u003cbr\u003eTormented as a boy by his brother, Geryon escapes to a parallel world of\u003cbr\u003ephotography. He falls deeply in love with Herakles, a golden young man, who\u003cbr\u003edeserts him at the peak of infatuation. So Geryon retreats ever further into the\u003cbr\u003eworld created by his camera, fascinated by his wings, his redness and the\u003cbr\u003efantastic accident of who he is. But all is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by\u003cbr\u003eHerakles’ return.\u003cbr\u003eAutobiography of Red is a deceptively simple narrative filled with currents of\u003cbr\u003emeaning, emotion, and the truth about what it’s like to be red. An extraordinary,\u003cbr\u003emodern epic poem - moving, disturbing and delightful.\u003cbr\u003e''I have never and will never read anything like Autobiography of Red by\u003cbr\u003eAnne Carson'' Hanya Yanagihara\u003cbr\u003e''Totally engrossing'' Ocean Vuong\u003cbr\u003e''It changed my life'' Olly Alexander\u003cbr\u003e''A spellbinding achievement'' Susan Sontag\u003cbr\u003e''A wonderful, mongrel work, a strange and ambitious bridge between\u003cbr\u003eclassical texts and contemporary autobiographical poetry'' Michael\u003cbr\u003eOndaatje","brand":"Carson, Anne","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55646179721555,"sku":"9781787337107","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/anne-carson-autobiography-of-red-2026","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
