Valencia, by Michelle Tea
"I can't think of anyone who has done a better job telling the story of the dark, but enticing queer-addict world. This is one of those books I would be willing to read several times. It's the diamond on my shelf."
This rent girl memoir is dangerous. Unrepentantly sexy. If Scott Fitzgerald was a dyke and lived in the Mission before Google ate its soul.
Michelle Tea has been a part of the San Francisco writing bohemia, sex worker activism, and queer scene for years, one of the founders of Sister Spit.
She has some stories to tell. Blood-spattered love affairs, corporate shit-heads behind closed doors, and friends who stick with her through it all.
Narrated with searing bravado by Bright List favorite Abby Craden.
