Rachel Lyon sits down in the Damn Library as the first guest of 2018. She presents her incredible new novel Self-Portait with Boy, and the guys ask questions about it, like about camera research, and changing DUMBO, and other New York-type things. Then they all discuss Eileen Myles’ Afterglow and discuss how much of this “dog memoir” worked, and how much was just Eileen Myles-ing around.
