Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and The Paris Review. As Carson writes: “Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantánamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget's Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. That's why I've called them ‘wrong.’"

"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.", "She is one of the few writers writing in English that I would read anything she wrote.", "I haven’t discovered any writing in years that’s so marvelously disturbing. I just feel so happy that she’s around.", "Her work is full of moments of startling originality and beauty."
Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living.
