Autobiography of Red - Anne Carson [book]

I wanted to recommend the book Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson to you! You said that you both love Greek mythology and Epic Poetry and if you like those then you'll LOVE this. It's a modern adaptation of the myth of Geryon, which is both a novel AND a poem (its so beautiful). I'm not even into Greek mythology on its own and this book makes me go absolutely buck wild with how fantastic it is. The descriptions are so beautiful and the way Anne Carson writes makes me go just a little bit feral. If you like Greek mythology i would generally just recommend basically anything that Anne Carson has ever written? But this book in particular.
