Synopsis

Book by Anne Carson

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The most exciting poet writing in English today.... A rare    talent -- brilliant and full of wit,passionate and also deeply moving."         - Michael Ondaatje

"A novel in the shape of a poem, a classical story made contemporary--wry, poignant, beautiful and occasionally erotic. Carson writes like an angel--Her passions recall that incandescent chronicler of love Elisabeth Smart [and] Malcolm Lowry--This romantic fable is--a rare (red) bird among Canadian novels--A wonderful book of dense, glittering prose poetry that is both timely and timeless."  - Katherine Govier, Time

"Amazing -- I haven't discovered any writing in years so marvelously disturbing."  - Alice Munro

"Wildly imaginative and inventive--The first dozen pages will convince anyone--that Carson is an authentic and original talent."                   - Douglas Fetherling, The Ottawa Citizen

Award-winning poet Anne Carson joins the Vintage Canada list with this stunning work, both novel and poem, both unconventional re-creation of an ancient Greek myth and wholly original coming-of-age story set in the present. Geryon, a young boy who is also a winged red monster, reveals the volcanic terrain of his fragile, tormented soul in an autobiography he begins at the age of five. As he grows older, Geryon embarks on a journey that unleashes his creative imagination to its fullest extent.
