Beskrivelse
Fleeing Tucson and her troublesome on-and-off ex-girlfriend, Michelle lands in queer San Francisco’s riotous underbelly, stumbling through her early twenties in a haze of nightlife, drug adventures, scams and a string of hookups, break-ups and make-ups.
As butches and dykes spin in and out of her orbit, she considers the force and casual cruelty of their desires and her own. Heady, beer-sticky and brimming with life, Valencia is a sharply observed and piercingly funny chronicle of a year lived close to the bone.
‘If you want to know how dangerous and great and awful it is to be a girl, you’ll scarf Valencia right up’ Eileen Myles, author of Chelsea Girls’
Michelle Tea is an intoxicating writer, delivering sentences that land with the snap and force of a punch’ Guardian
