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

4.0

Reading this had its ups and downs. The ups, essays about art but not about art, an interview with Daniel Day Lewis, and a handful of her mid 2000s blog posts, grabbed me. The downs, all of the "Art Essays," went over my head. Eileen Myles is unapologetic. Her personality cuts through her writing. At times it's abrasive, but for the most part it's charming. 4 out of 5.
Also, the cover is beautiful :~)
