Story4.5 out of 5 stars 99
In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms life into a work of art. Told in her audacious voice, made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed "lesbianity," and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York.

Fearlessly Honest
Reviewed: 12-26-22
Eileen Myles is the bravest storyteller I can remember. She does not flinch as she recounts her relationships and sexual experiences, both beautiful and harrowing. Her narration is impeccable, and her charm is irresistible.
