The PEN Award-winning essay collection about queer lives: Gorgeously punk-rock rebellious.--The A.V. Club
The razor-sharp but damaged Valerie Solanas, a doomed lesbian biker gang, recovering alcoholics, and teenagers barely surviving at an ice creamery: these are some of the larger-than-life, yet all-too-human figures, populating America's fringes. Rife with never-ending fights and failures, theirs are the stories we too often try to forget. But in the process of excavating and documenting these lives, Michelle Tea also reveals herself in unexpected and heartbreaking ways.
Delivered with her signature honesty and dark humor, Tea blurs the line between telling other people's stories and her own. She turns an investigative eye to the genre that's nurtured her entire career--memoir--and considers the extent to which art preys on life.
