Told through Geryon's own fragmentary autobiography, the book follows him from a difficult childhood with an abusive brother into a passionate, unequal love affair with a charismatic drifter named Herakles, and the long process of piecing himself back together after being left behind. Blending classical scholarship, invented interviews and startlingly modern imagery, it's by turns funny, strange and heartbreaking, a genuinely original meditation on love, otherness and the making of art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48215068016852,"sku":"TVJ-025582","price":25.3,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/Photo05-07-2026_105746PM.jpg?v=1783316468","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/autobiography-of-red-by-anne-carson","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
