FUCK YEAH EILEEN MYLES

tsparks: A Book of Essays and Criticisms by Eileen Myles The Importance of Being Iceland, published by Semiotext(e) / the MIT Press in July 2009, is the first full volume of Myles’s essays and art writing. Framed by Myles’s account of her travels in Iceland, these essays posit inbetweenness as the most vital position from which to perceive culture as a whole, and a fluidity in national identity as the best model for writing and thinking about art and culture. I am reading this now, it makes great reading. Her writing is so natural, I think she is sitting in the room talkin with me. She has a humorous and irreverent voice, the kind I enjoy hearing and reading. This book doesn’t belong in a ghetto, it deserves a wide audience.
