In this 2023 Segue Reading Series event hosted by Artists Space, Jackie Wang reads from her book Alien Daughters Walk Into the Sun: An Almanac of Extreme Girlhood (Semiotext(e), 2023) and Eileen Myles reads from their latest poetry collection, a “Working Life” (Grove Press, 2023).
“I think it’s really important for writers to understand themselves as artists.” At the 92nd Street Y, longtime friends Eileen Myles and Chris Kraus read from their work and have a conversation about their life experiences and writing processes.
“At that moment when I started it, it was an act of complete desperation—I didn't know I was writing a book!” In this clip from an interview with filmmaker Martin Rumsby, Chris Kraus talks about the origins and inspiration for her first novel, I Love Dick (Semiotext(e), 1997), which has been adapted for an upcoming television series directed by Jill Soloway, and starring Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Hahn.
