Red Doc> (Vintage Contemporaries) [Carson, Anne] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Red Doc> (Vintage Contemporaries)

Review: Brilliant! - Anne Carson’s novels-in-verse are some of my favorites, especially “Autobiography of Red.” When I heard she was continuing Geryon’s story I was thrilled, and “Red Doc” does not disappoint. First, you need to read “Autobiography of Red,” since it is Part One of Geryon’s story, and “Red Doc” is Part Two. Second, keep in mind this is Anne Carson. She never repeats herself. She always invents new experimental formats and structures for her books. And that’s exactly what she’s done with “Red Doc.” Third, this is one of those books you’ll need to read several times to fully appreciate the brilliance of her technique. The word music, the story detail, the innuendo, the history, all of it delightfully Carson. Truly, she is a master at writing her way around a story as if she were stitching an heirloom quilt. No one does it better!
Review: More Carson Brilliance - Autobiography of Red ends on high note, with the Heracles, his boyfriend, and Geryon enjoying a South American trip (think the Burroughs "Queer" journey, but with far less money). Like Alan Hollinghurst skipping from 26 to 43 in the protagonist's narrative in "Our Evenings," Carson jumps far ahead in Heracles & Geryon's life for this sequel. So many poetic insights, so sympathetic an eye for PTSD-suffering Heracles, and Geryon's meek shepardly sense-making. I hope it is turned into a play or film. One tip: this work is much harder to follow than Autobiography of Red. So you may want to read Rachell Mindell's dissertation on it: "What is a Hole Made of: Queer Identity and Grief in Autobiography of Red and Red Doc>", before diving into Red Doc. Or after.

*by A***L on July 11, 2013*

I'm a fan of Carson so this is pure subjectivity. I also enjoy the Classic and myth and this is compatible with my admiration of Carson. This book is clever, beautiful, stunning, an object of beauty, 'and at every window the vague twilight / the black flakes of this / dayless day comes sifting / down....' Gorgeous.
