[ 3.0 stars ] "I have been following Anne Carson since The Autobiography of Red and always look forward to her next book, be it poetry, prose, or translation. I know it will be challenging but rewarding. However, with Antigonick, I find the form takes away from the story. First off, it's a beautiful book that I'm surprised can still be made in this digital age (and for the price). That said, I found the ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Anne Carson really outdoes herself in her re-imagining of Sophocles' tragedy. The illustrations are bizarre, though some of them are very beautifully fitting.

[ 5.0 stars ] "This is truly a gorgeous book. The text is handwritten, there are ink & watercolour illustrations on vellum between lots of the pages, and Carson's version of Antigone is more than readable. It is contemporary, at times funny, true to the spirit of the original text (as far as I can tell), and I really enjoyed it very much. I got the book for about 15 USD when it first came out (hardcover) and ..." Courtesy by Amazon
