Afterglow (a Dog Memoir) by Eileen Myles

4.0

I love Eileen Myles and I love dogs. The cohesion flagged in the latter half, but I found this mostly really enjoyable. I especially enjoyed a dramatic dialogue where Rosie, Eileen Myles' pit bull, talks with puppets. The memoir was less about Rosie being a reincarnation of Eileen's father than I expected from the way it was described, but I didn't mind the kaleidoscopic view of what dogs mean to them and to all of us. (I'll note that I listened to this as an audiobook while walking the dog we recently adopted, so it seemed especially fitting.)
