Wrong Norma.

Jim, I haven't read any of those.

These are her most notable works.

Just scattering the booklets on a table, reading a poem about a volcano, then a translation of a Greek myth, and seeing what collides in your own mind.
speaker_6HOST
In her late era, we see works like Wrong Norma in 2024 and The Albertine Workout in 2014, where she does this controlled, obsessive examination of Proust's great novel.

She calls these pieces small performances of mind.

With all of these different forms, boxes, accordions, comic strips, tangos, plastic cases, the fundamental question for our listener remains: how are you actually supposed to read her?
Jacob TierneyGUEST
You know, and I forgot...

I mean, I've, I read, I've read a- almost everything that Anne Carson has published, including Wrong Norma, the book that she released, I believe, last year, which is an amazing collection.
Elamin AbdelmahmoudHOST
Yeah.

And it's so, like, i- it's so interesting to think about her writing, 'cause I think people are intimidated by it, and the thing that is so amazing about Anne Carson is actually how once you get into it, it, it's so present and it's so available to a reader.
