Description
Afterglow: A Dog Memoir by Eileen Myles In 1990, Eileen Myles chose Rosie from a litter on the street, and their connection had an instant and lasting impact. Over sixteen years together, Myles was devoted to the pit bull, exploring the complex power dynamics between pet and owner. This memoir delves into the mostly mutually beneficial, sometimes challenging relationship, while also examining Myles's experiences with addiction, recovery, intimacy, mourning, celebrity, politics, spirituality, and family history. Myles weaves a unique narrative that combines elements of science fiction, screenplay, monologue, and lucid memory to explore how and why we dedicate our lives to our dogs. The book takes the reader on a journey through imaginative scenarios, poetic transcriptions, and even Rosie's final narration from beyond the grave. Through its innovative structure and lyrical prose, Afterglow offers a profound exploration of the human-animal bond, one that will resonate with anyone who has shared their life with a loyal companion.
