This book is amazing. The protagonist, Geryon, is a minor character in Greek mythology and classical literature. In this book, he lives in contemporary North America and in ancient Greece at the same time--he's both a photographer and a red-winged monster. Each section of the book is written in blank verse. It's so beautiful.
