Afterglow (a Dog Memoir) by Eileen Myles
2.0
2021 5-sentence or less review:
I love Eileen Myles and I loved Chelsea Girls but I just didn't love this one. Some chapters were better, more thoughtful, and more beautiful than others. The others weren't necessarily bad, but I feel I didn't quite get it. I would love to live a day inside the head of Myles because I really do believe that they are brilliant and this book is definitely innovative. But I often felt left behind by their stream of consciousness.
