Review of 'Afterglow' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

i’m not sure i would recommend this widely because maybe 25% of it was too loose association for me and i couldn’t follow. i think the more eileen myles you’ve read the better you’ll be able to follow those parts

otherwise very beautiful passages about life sex dogs god mailmen humans as animal etc.

not so sad for a dog book. rosie!
