A review by lattelibrarian
The Albertine Workout by Anne Carson

5.0

Anything that Anne Carson does impresses me.  This little chapbook was better than any book review I could ever read about Proust's work.  I mean, how does she manage to give both everything and nothing away?  I gotta know how all these points intersect and link to one another!!

Written with her usual style that typically leaves me feeling nostalgic for something I've never experienced, this book is one of a kind and greatly differs from the other two works of hers I've read.  If there's one thing in this world that I want to know, it's how Carson learned to categorize her ideas and how she wrote them down so eloquently.
