Description
Michelle Tea's Against Memoir is a vibrant and unflinching exploration of queer life in America. With wit and candour, Tea recounts her own experiences and those of others, weaving together stories of love, adventure, and activism. From the lives of lesbian motorbike gangs to the struggles of trans activists, this collection reveals the complexities and beauty of queer experience. Through her writing, Michelle Tea offers a defence of pigeons and a tale of teenage goths hustling for tips at an ice creamery, alongside a reclamation of SCUM Manifesto author Valerie Solanas as an absurdist. This kaleidoscope of stories is both unsparing and kind, delivering a powerful portrayal of queer life in all its forms. A collection of Tea's journalism, Against Memoir solidifies her place as one of the leading queer writers of our time, delivered with her signature dark humour and candour.
