Autobiogpraphy of Red blends classical literature with modern tropes. Loosely based on the myth of Geryon and the Tenth Labor of Herakles, Carson metaphorically reimagines the Greek monster Geryon as a moody, artsy, gay teenage boy navigating the difficulties of sex and love and identity to create this distinctively original work that is unparalleled by any other writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Katie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarson is famously enigmatic and private, which I think is so admirable at a time where you can literally send authors instagram messages and see what they're eating for breakfast (not that I don't absolutely love seeing the contents of Eileen Myles' bedside table). But I love this quote from a New York Times article in which the journalist has an email exchange with her and she says about writing \"we’re talking about the struggle to drag a thought over from the mush of the unconscious into some kind of grammar, syntax, human sense; every attempt means starting over with language. starting over with accuracy. i mean, every thought starts over, so every expression of a thought has to do the same. every accuracy has to be invented. . . . i feel i am blundering in concepts too fine for me\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Clem\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI discovered Anne Carson because The White Review published this brilliant interview with her \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thewhitereview.org\/feature\/interview-anne-carson\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.thewhitereview.org\/feature\/interview-anne-carson\/\u003c\/a\u003e one week later I found 'A Biography of Red' at \u003cem\u003eShakespeare and Co\u003c\/em\u003e and curled up to read the entire thing in a corner of the bookshop.

She creates beautiful organic sculptures with her hands, inspired by the abundance of nature that surrounds her at her beautiful studio in Teia, just outside Barcelona. Earlier this month we visited her here, just in time to see all the trees start to bloom, surrounded by rolling farmlands and a view of the sea where Berta took us through a few of her favourite books. The one that spoke to us the most and that we have chosen to send to you all this month is by the Japanese art critic and philosopher Yanagi Sōetsu. It is a book that explores the beauty of functional objects and the importance of tradition and work created without ownership and ego. This month, by blending the work of Berta and the writings of Yanagi, we hope we can remind each other of the importance in reconnecting with ourselves through our sense of touch, the  creative potential we can realise when we display patience, and the power of repetition: “It is that repetition that frees my hands from thought. And that freedom is the mother of all creation.” Details to sign up for this months package are now on our website, not one to miss out on, it will be full of postcards, interviews, and a little springtime surprise. ❤️","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39294692458567,"sku":"200","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/products\/berta2020100.jpg?v=1617374877"},{"product_id":"pre-order-may-with-stephanie-lacava","title":"Thérèse And Isabelle by Violette Leduc with Stephanie LaCava","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSendb00ks May 2021 (Archive).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStephanie LaCava chose Violette Leduc's Thérèse And Isabelle.

The walls of white rooms were hung with green tapestries, spirals. A big window on the outside was filled with green trees. Weavings, pulled downwards, extended the thread.

She explains in an interview with Sotheby’s that weaving is an intense manual work that requires hours of concentration—it is a quasi-mediative art sometimes weaving the words of writers like Duras, Barthes, Chantal Akerman, Etel Adnan, and Bouvier into her spirals. She is passionate about artists like Louise Bourgeois and Marina Abramovic, listening to the radio or podcasts while weaving. Marie describes her practice as a necessary process of storytelling.
