#22: The Inferno, Chapter from a Novel in Progress by Eileen Myles.

Eileen did a reading at New College years ago and I was there and I was so completely smitten by her voice – the candence, the Boston accent, the shyness. Then there was the thought-skipping lurches and pauses. I was in love. Eileen was good enough to send me this first chapter from her latest novel in progress and to read with me, Darin, Kevin and Marina at Skylight Books in LA recently. She teaches at the University of California at San Diego and is the author of many books including Maxfield Parrish, School of Fish, the novel Cool For You and her most recent volume of poetry, Skies.
