Klappentext Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living. Her awards and honours include the Lannan Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Griffin Trust Award for Excellence in Poetry, the T.S. Eliot Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the MacArthur Genius Award. "[Carson] excels at departure from context. I have never read a poet where there was such a sense that the material was so unruly it might overwhelm its creator. It is this that makes Carson exciting. In a recent interview in the New York Times, she spoke of it being important for the mind to "move somewhere it has never moved before". This is what she achieves. She writes with spendthrift ease." -- Kate Kellaway Observer New Review Zusammenfassung In a stunningly original mix of poetry, drama, and narrative, Anne Carson brings the red-winged Geryon from Autobiography of Red, now called âGâ™, into manhood, and through the complex labyrinths of the modern age.

Préface
A literary event: a follow-up to the internationally acclaimed poetry best-seller Autobiography of Red ('Amazing' Alice Munro) that takes its mythic boy-hero into the twenty-first century to tell a story all its own of love, loss, and the power of memory. Shortlisted for the 2013 T.S. Eliot Prize.
