Signed limited edition 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.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Black goatskin, marbled endpapers; in red slipcase. Special issue of the first UK edition (published four months after the US/Canadian editions), limited to 100 numbered copies signed by the author. Sequel to the author's 1998 verse novel Autobiography of Red and winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize (her second). Anne Carson published her first collection of verse, Canicula di Anna, in 1984. Attractively modernistic in presentation (it is laid out in thin columns, floating in white space), Red Doc> won fulsome praise from The Guardian's critic Sarah Crown. It "trails so many tempting threads", she wrote, "that it is a job to decide which to follow first. Where to start: with her antic reworking of Greek mythology? . . . That weird angle bracket in the title? . . . You'd be justified in thinking, on finishing Red Doc>, that it is Carson who has got the jump here. To engage so fluidly, so originally and compellingly, with a story first told more than 3,000 years ago, is astonishing: her ambition is one thing; the fact that it is so completely achieved is, frankly, something else. And the angle bracket? Apparently, it was the default name the computer gave to the file in which the poem was saved. The sense it furnishes of something fundamentally incompletable provides a typically neat and witty comment on the work. The best stories don't have beginnings or endings, not really, but they do have great tellers. Carson is, simply, one of the very best.". Signed by Author(s). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7eB100044
