Anne Carson : Red Doc Signed LIMITED First Edition
Limited to 100 leatherbound slipcased copies, this is signed and numbered by the author
Shortlisted for the inaugural Folio Society Prize for Literature 2014
Synopsis : In a stunningly original mix of poetry, drama, and narrative, Anne Carson brings the red-winged Geryon from "Autobiography of Red", now called 'G', into manhood, and through the complex labyrinths of the modern age. We join him as he travels with his friend and lover 'Sad' (short for Sad But Great), a war veteran; and with Ida, an artist, across a geography that ranges from plains of glacial ice to idyllic green pastures; from a psychiatric clinic to the sombre house where G's mother must face her death. Haunted by Proust, juxtaposing the hunger for flight with the longing for family and home, this deeply powerful picaresque verse invites readers on an extraordinary journey of intellect, imagination, and soul. Signed limited edition.
Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living. Her awards and honours include the Lannan Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Griffin Trust Award for Excellence in Poetry, the T.S. Eliot Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the MacArthur 'Genius' Award.
A literary event: a follow-up to the internationally acclaimed poetry best-seller Autobiography of Red ('Amazing' - Alice Munro) that takes its mythic boy-hero into the twenty-first century to tell a story all its own of love, loss, and the power of memory.
