Autobiography of red

Book • 1998
Autobiography of Red is a verse novel by Anne Carson, published in 1998.

It is based loosely on the myth of Geryon and the Tenth Labor of Herakles, but transposes Geryon's story into the modern world, where he is a moody, artsy, gay teenage boy navigating the complexities of sex, love, and identity.

The book explores themes of identity, monstrosity, and the human experience of love and trauma.
