The Importance of Being Iceland: Travel Essays in Art by Eileen Myles

3.0

Eileen Myles is an incredible writer, but reading this title first might've been a misstep (especially because I'm not a huge fan of reading art criticism when I can't see the art that's being discussed). Her introductory essay on Iceland was my favorite--though I'm not sure I totally understood Iceland as the connecting thread between pieces?--and her piece on flossing was a close second. Turned down lots of pages before remembering it belonged to the library.
