'Fans of Anne Carson, rejoice!... Carson's depth of knowledge about
Greek mythology coupled with her poetic sensibility and
illustrations is sure to breathe new life into this oft-told
story.' Lit Hub H of H Playbook is an explosion of thought, in
drawings and language, about a Greek tragedy called Herakles by the
5th-century BC poet Euripides. In myth Herakles is an embodiment of
manly violence who returns home after years of making war on
enemies and monsters (his famous "Labours of Herakles") to find he
cannot adapt himself to a life of peacetime domesticity. He goes
berserk and murders his whole family. Suicide is his next idea.
Amazingly, this does not happen. Due to the intervention of his
friend Theseus, Herakles comes to believe he is not, after all,
indelibly stained by his own crimes, nor is his life without value.
It remains for the reader to judge this redemptive outcome. "I
think there is no such thing as an innocent landscape," said Anselm
Kiefer, painter of forests grown tall on bones.
