Thanks, Eileen Myles.

And thanks to everyone who came out for her conversation with Erica Kaufman and Corey Frost. Unresolved questions: how “natural” is storytelling? Do people become good at talking in front of crowds because they are extroverted, or because they are introverted? Why does the word “lesbian” tend to make some people giggle? Why is John Cage the most important person in America, next to Gertrude Stein? Is there any truth to the story that Iceland’s name was a Viking marketing ploy?
