I finished Autobiography of Red, a novel in verse by Anne Carson, which was one of the strangest books I have read. But I'm really glad I read it, on James' suggestion. I see what is so appealing about it. Anne Carson's metaphors and use of language is brilliant at times. She pulls from the irrational and turns it clear and back and forth. The irrational becomes vivid, and the concrete becomes mystical. And of course the way she adapted the myth was really fun.
