By Anne Carson. Parul Sehgal, Bookforum, February When Anne Carson was a child, she read Lives of the Saints and adored it so much she tried to eat its pages. The Canadian classicist and poet has never lost this desire to merge with the text; if anything, she's created forms that allow her to eat as many pages as she possibly can. review 1: Somewhat of a continuation of, or return to, Autobiography of Red, Red Doc is a little less accessible than its predecessor, though that doesn't necessarily make it less enjoyable. Personally, I like Autobiography of Red more than this one, for its cohesiveness as a whole and its narrative clarity, but Red Doc has some strong, memorable lines ("You could take the entirety of the. Red Doc stands on its own—and takes the reader on a singular journey of longing and grief." —San Francisco Chronicle "Carson's red-winged anti-hero is still the crown prince of erotic, melancholy foibles Whether she's talking war vets, flying cows, Latin etymology or Elvis, Carson once again blurs the lines of prose and.
Red Doc is also Carson’s first book as a bona fide literary celeb- rity: its appearance was an “event,” providing the opportunity for a New York Times Magazine profile, “The Inscrutable Brilliance of Anne Carson,” which confirms the day’s consensus: she’s quirky, publicity shy, sharp-witted, and possessed of some alien je ne sais quoi that makes her “original” and “uncategorizable.”. Red Doc is a kind of sequel to Autobiography of Red, both by poet Anne Carson. Autobiography is a reimagining of the story of Geryon, the red-winged boy and his dog. Red Doc tells the story of G. and the various encounters with others in a time that is both now and not quite now. What follows is more my initial impressions of this wonderful text rather than a review. Red Doc follows the story told in Autobiography of Red, in which Geryon the red, winged boy-monster falls in love with Herakles. Autobiography was a powerful book in its own right, a collage of childhood and wakening sexuality. And while there is a continuous thread, Red Doc is its own book, with a new feel, different rhythms and shifted characters. Geryon here is simply G; Herakles is back from the war with PTSD, and goes by Sad.
