A review by weus
Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

one of my fave books ever. all the main characters are male & race is rly only specific for one character, but they’re all  gay or bi which is why “its complicated” for a diverse cast

Content Warnings

Moderate: Child abuse, Incest, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence

the first couple chapters do describe the main character’s sexual assault by his older brother. however its from the pov of a child, so its not explicit. but you can definitely tell thats whats happening. its only the first few chapters though
