The 25th anniversary edition of Michelle Tea’s classic coming of age memoir – now with a foreword by Maggie Nelson, award-winning author of The Argonauts
'One of the few truly life changing books I’ve encountered’ Torrey Peters, bestselling author of Detransition, Baby
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
