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 ex girlfriend, Michelle finds herself in the Mission District of San Francisco, where queers from all over the country are arriving in search of themselves and each other. She hurls herself into the city’s riotous underbelly, stumbling through nightlife and open mics, drug adventures, and a string of hookups, breakups, and makeups. Beneath these layers of salacious drama and sensational parties, Michelle considers the casual cruelty of young women and their desires in a singular, deadpan voice tense with longing and laughter.
Heady, beer sticky, and brimming with life, Valencia traces one year of love and lust in San Francisco’s queer underground scene. A biting chronicle of girlhood, this lesbian cult classic is a timeless, essential read.
