Antigonick is an intensely metatextual text, a constantly self-interrogating text; the weight of fate & gods-doom that hangs over the original becomes in Antigonick the weight of Antigone's own themes and narrative echoing down through centuries of time and translations, which does not make it any less painful, or less raw

I appreciate the photographic evidence!

I bounce screamingly off Anne Carson and there doesn't seem to be anything to do about it (people keep trying me on her, I try, people keep telling me to try harder; to be fair, since grad school this has mostly stopped), but I appreciate that she works for so many people. My formative Antigone was Anouilh's.
