Icon of radical American Letters Eileen Myles has produced more than 20 volumes of fiction, memoir and poetry over the past three decades, a body of work that led the novelist Dennis Cooper to describe them as 'one of the savviest and most restless intellects in contemporary literature.' To mark the publication of their novel Chelsea Girls in paperback and a new collection of poetry I Must Be Living Twice (Serpents Tail and Tuskar Rock respectively) Eileen Myles was at the shop to read from and discuss their work with Olivia Laing, author of To the River, The Trip to Echo Spring and most recently The Lonely City.
