Myla Goldberg

From the award-winning author of Bee Season, comes Feast Your Eyes, a gripping portrait of a woman who is fiercely devoted to her art and her motherhood and who pays a price for both. Told entirely in catalog notes for a photography show, this novel is both stylistically ingenious and emotionally rich.   A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice, Feast Your Eyes was nominated for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence .

Goldberg was raised in Maryland and received her BA from Oberlin College. She is the author of three other novels, including The False Friend, Wickett’s Remedy, and Bee Season, which was a New York Times Notable Book, a winner of the Borders New Voices Prize, and a finalist for the Hemingway Foundation/PEN award, the New York Public Library Young Lions award, and the Barnes & Noble Discover award. Goldberg is a recipient of a Sustainable Arts Foundation grant and a 2019 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow. She writes and teaches in Brooklyn, New York.

“A daringly inventive parable of female creativity and motherhood.” — O, the Oprah Magazine. “Goldberg offers a searching consideration of the way that the identities and perceptions of a female artist shift over time.” — The New Yorker.
