Beschreibung

<p><b>'A wonderfully disgusting book ... invigorating' <i>DAZED </i>Best Books for Pride Month</b><br><b><br>The 25th anniversary edition of Michelle Tea's classic coming-of-age story, now with a foreword by Maggie Nelson, award-winning author of <i>The Argonauts</i></b><br><b><br>'One of the few truly life changing books I've encountered' Torrey Peters, bestselling author of </b><i><b>Detransition, Baby</b></i><br><br>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, <i>Valencia </i>is a sharply observed and piercingly funny chronicle of a year lived close to the bone. <br><br><b>'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 <i>Chelsea Girls</i></b><br><br><b>'Michelle Tea is an intoxicating writer, delivering sentences that land with the snap and force of a punch' <i>Guardian </i></b></p>
