Autobiography Of Red
Author(s): Anne Carson
The winged red monster Geryon's story is a mixture of whimsy and sadness. He is tormented as a boy by his brother, escapes to a parallel world of photography, and falls in love with Herakles - a golden young man who leaves Geryon at the peak of infatuation. This is an epic poem.
