Eileen Myles's Inferno is a gripping, poignant, meditative story about a young woman who sets out to become a poet in the turbulent New York of the 1970s. It's a voice from the underground that redefines the meaning of words. 'I was stunned by Inferno. This must have been how Dante felt when he saw the face of God. My ability to describe it in words fails, fails. But I can tell you that Eileen Myles opened my eyes to something I didn't understand before. And what more could you want from a novel, or a poet's novel, or a poem, or a memoir, or whatever the hell this shimmering document is? Just read it.' Alison Bechdel 'Piercingly witty and melancholy, Inferno is the story of a Boston girl and her descent into the maelstrom of post-1968 New York bohemian life.' John Ashbery
