I read Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson. 📚
Amazing images and atmospheres throughout this book. Among other things it made me want to take photographs, gave me new ways to think about photography. I like photography but I’m a dummy about it.
Maybe I have unfair expecations, but if I’m being honest, it feels very unfinished. Fragmentary. I gues that’s actually the point, since all we have are fragments of Stesichorus' original…
This is one of the original titles added to my Goodreads “Want-to-read” shelf, apparently clear back in August of 2008.
Not entirely clear to me why I finally sought this out and read it after 17 years1, but I did…I guess it might be because I keep looking for novels in verse and this comes up in the library catalog and different places when I browse that genre heading, decided to put it on hold and finally read the thing before returning it to the library already overdue.

Actually even longer, I think I first heard of this book recommended by one of my creative writing professors back in 2002? ↩︎
