Notes from Source: Tschofen examines the demonstrations of visuality and the dynamics of metaphor in Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red. Carson’s red-winged photographer is one of the best metaphors. As a figure uniting strangeness, her monster is an icon of the things that lie beyond one’s physical vision and a symbolic tool by which she probes the secrets of perception, temporality, and language.
