Episode One Hundred and Twelve: Myla Goldberg

112-goldberg.jpg

In This Episode:

Myla Goldberg drops by the Damn Library and immediately gives Christopher and Drew two new business ventures. And that's before they even start talking about her new book, Feast Your Eyes, and its museum catalog form, where she got the photographs, how geniuses shouldn't be assholes, and the photographer as subject for fiction. Plus, she brought Jesse Ball's novel Census, and it leads to a discussion of what it's like to go door to door, along with lots else besides.
