Famously reticent, asking that her books be published without cover copy, she has agreed to say this-Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantanamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Rogets Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night, Sokrates, writing sonnets, forensics, encounters with lovers, the word "idea", the feet of Jesus, and Russian thugs. The pieces are not linked. Thats why Ive called them "wrong".

Review Uncompromisingly intelligent, while being effortlessly readable, and – a word critics dont often use about Carson – fun * Daily Telegraph *Im a big fan of her work... Theres a joy in encountering a mind that takes nothing for granted... She pinpoints the collision of oracle and anachronism -- Teju Cole, author of TremorWrong Norma is the poet at her best: humorous, whimsical, erudite, moving, unpretentious * Times Literary Supplement *Reading this astounding, virtuosic book is a sampling of interiority. It is extraordinary because the form partakes the unjoined nature of human thought…. A triumph of a book * Observer *Carsons latest work displays her brilliance and originality through a series of hybrid, free-flowing text interspersed with images and digressions… These prose poems evince clarity, precision and attention * Guardian *She is one of the few writers writing in English that I would read anything she wrote -- Susan Sontag, author of Against InterpretationPowerfully moving... Wrong Norma can also be funny… Full of wit, pain and the wonder of language * Spectator *Carson applies the habits of classical scholarship, the linguistic rigor, the relentless search for evidence, the jigsaw approach to scattered facts, to the trivia of contemporary private life * New York Magazine *Anne Carson is, for me, the most exciting poet writing in English today -- Michael Ondaatje, author of The English PatientHer work is full of moments of startling originality and beauty. The poems play with character and plot, myth and magic; they are rich with attitude and wit and the undertow of grief. If she was a prose writer she would instantly be recognised as a genius -- Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn Details ISBN1787332357 Author Anne Carson Publisher Vintage Publishing Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781787332355 Format Paperback Imprint Jonathan Cape Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2024-02-08 NZ Release Date 2024-02-08 Alternative 9781529919981 Audience General Publication Date 2024-02-08 UK Release Date 2024-02-08 Pages 192 DEWEY 811.54 Subtitle I would read anything she wrote Susan Sontag ISBN-10 1787332357 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
