Feast Your Eyes, framed as the catalogue notes from a photography show at the Museum of Modern Art, tells the life story of Lillian Preston: "Americas Worst Mother, Americas Bravest Mother, Americas Worst Photographer, or Americas Greatest Photographer, depending on who was talking." After discovering photography as a teenager through her high schools photo club, Lillian rejects her parents expectations of college and marriage and moves to New York City in 1955. When a small gallery exhibits partially nude photographs of Lillian and her daughter Samantha, Lillian is arrested, thrust into the national spotlight, and targeted with an obscenity charge. Mother and daughters sudden notoriety changes the course of both of their lives, and especially Lillians career as she continues a life-long quest for artistic legitimacy and recognition. "A searching consideration of the way that the identities and perceptions of a female artist shift over time" (The New Yorker), Feast Your Eyes shares Samanthas memories, interviews with Lillians friends and lovers, and excerpts from Lillians journals and letters--a collage of stories and impressions, together amounting to an astounding portrait of a mother and an artist dedicated, above all, to a vision of beauty, truth, and authenticity. Myla Goldberg has gifted us with "a mother-daughter story, an art-monster story, and an exciting structural gambit" (Lit Hub)--and, in the end, "a universal and profound story of love and loss" (New York Newsday). Author Biography Myla Goldberg is the bestselling author of Feast Your Eyes, The False Friend, Wicketts Remedy, and Bee Season, which was a New York Times Notable Book, a winner of the Borders New Voices Prize, a finalist for the Hemingway Foundation/PEN award, and was adapted to film and widely translated.
