Experimental without being difficult to read--Myles plays with the form of the memoir, switching up details and messing around with language in this work that is situated between fiction and autobiography. The end result is more fun than not, especially considering some of the grim content in this story. ( ) i really tried to like this book. it's just really not my thing. the first third or so kept me more or less interested enough while i was reading - is this a memoir? is it fiction? is she pretending to be the main character? is she fictionalizing her life? what the hell is a "nonfiction novel?" - but every time i put this book down i had to force myself to pick it up again. and by the last third i had to just push through to get it over with. i don't tend to like more experimental writing (as much as i would like to think i would) and this is no exception for me. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"A cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant-garde."--The New York TimesWhy can't I live right now. Because I am not rich, I am not a saint. But I do know this: not all of us were sent here to work.The first published novel of legendary poet and performer Eileen Myles follows a queer female growing up in working-class Boston, straining against the institutions that hold her: family, Catholic school, jobs at a camp, at a nursing home, at a school for developmentally disabled adult males. Free-ranging and deadpan, tragic and joyful, this is a book about women, gender, class, bodies, escape, and what it means to be "inside." Never more relevant, and now with an introduction by Chris Kraus. No library descriptions found. |
