Laing, Olivia
“Such a devoted sister” in New Statesman 141.5112 (2012), 52-.
ISSN: 1364-7431
Notes from Source: In the prickly, tender Autobiography of Red, she refashioned the myth of Geryon and the tenth labour of Heracles into a modern gay love story that works riddlingly around questions of possession, loss and desire. […]in her last publication, Nox, she created an extraordinary mourning document: a book in a box, which used Catullus’s “Poem 101” as the foundation for building a memorial of words and images to her dead brother. In punishment, Kreon has her walled up in a cave, despite her eloquent defence and the pleadings of Haimon, his son and her husband-to-be.
