For two decades Carson's work has moved--phrase by phrase, line by line, project by improbable project--in directions that a human brain would never naturally move. The approach has won her accolades and an electric reputation in the literary world.--Sam Anderson
Anne Carson is a daring, learned, unsettling writer.--Susan Sontag
The poetry in her translation is light, swift, and beautiful.
Anne Carson is, for me, the most exciting poet writing in English today.--Michael Ondaatje
Her translation of this Greek tragedy, first performed in 405 BC, reawakens the original's sublimity and gives us the opportunity to be absorbed and shocked anew by the story of Dionysus.
As a translator, Carson is well aware that her work must issue from the ever-changing afterlife of the original, an approach that requires cultural and textual fluidity. In short, Carson, like Euripedes, is unafraid to take risks.
In traversing the eternal pull between what humans call reason and what that reason deems primal, Carson's trademark simplicity allows this work to feel simultaneously ancient and contemporary.
Anne Carson writes, “Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.”
