Skinny's Book of the Year, 2018 In 1990, Myles chose Rosie from a
litter on the street, and their connection instantly made an
indelible impact on the writer's way of being. Over the course of
sixteen years together, Myles was devoted to the pit bull and their
linked quality of life. And starting from the emptiness following
Rosie's death, Afterglow launches a playful and incisive
investigation into the mostly mutually beneficial, sometimes
reprehensible power dynamics between pet and pet-owner. At the same
time, it reimagines Myles's experiences with alcoholism and
recovery, intimacy and mourning, celebrity and politics,
spirituality and family history, while joyously transcending the
parameters of memoir. Moving from an imaginary talk show where
Rosie is interviewed by Myles's childhood puppet, to a critical
reenactment of the night Rosie mated with another pit bull; from
shimmering poetic transcriptions of video footage taken during
their walks, to Rosie's final enlightened narration from the
afterlife, this totally singular text combines elements of science
fiction, screenplay, monologue, and lucid memory to get to the
heart of how and why we dedicate our existence to our dogs.
