Autobiography of Red is inventive by using synesthesia. It is inventive because it is a different form of language that makes the novel different from others and “…offers us not understanding but an affective reality that sets the conditions for interpretation” (155, Georgis). In other words synthesis allows one to depict or think about situations in one’s own way and to not be held down by legitimate or correct way of thought. The use of synesthesia in this novel serves to give clarity to the reader. It makes a more vivid image in the reader’s mind to make fantasy seem more as a reality since senses are intertwining. For example, in the quote “Outside the house a black January wind came flattening down from the top of the sky…”(35) the words “black” and “wind” vivifies the feelings and images the novel creates in the reader’s head. This is because seeing “black” joined together with the feeling of “wind” on one’s skin creates a cold and darkened sensation. Since this sensation or feeling is relatable to the reader synesthesia makes the reader feel that this fantasy book is no longer an imagination but a reality because enhancing senses to make true emotions allows the reader to relate to the novel. The novel is trying to collide a queer world as fantasy with a hetero normative world as reality through synesthesia. Since synthesis is used though, it keeps the novel fantasy and myth because one can’t have “black wind”. It keeps the novel queer.
