Afterglow (a dog memoir) by Eileen Myles
2017
Weight: 1.6 lbs
Method of Disposal: Donating
I received this as a gift from a friend I love dearly recently. It should have been a match made in heaven. It is not only a book about a dog but a pit bull. The author is a gender fluid poet who once ran a campaign to be written in for President of the United States of America in 1991 and 1992. I am already in love. It was a great gift.
I was not a big fan of the book in the end. It seemed convoluted and unnecessarily, but intentionally, confusing. I also struggled to find Rosie in the book. It was all about her, but I felt like I never got to know the dog. Just Eileen. That wouldn't have to be a bad thing if the walk was enjoyable, but it wasn't. I struggled until the very end.
