Description
Mean by Myriam Gurba is a bold and hilarious coming-of-age story that blends radical form with caustic humor. The author takes on themes of sexual violence, small towns, and race, turning what might be tragic into piercing comedy. Gurba's writing is confident and intoxicating, tackling topics like assault, racism, misogyny, and homophobia with deadly seriousness. She also celebrates the power of sisterhood and the art of being mean - not just as a form of self-defense, but as a way to laugh and live life on one's own terms. This book is written by Myriam Gurba, a queer spoken-word performer, visual artist, and writer from California, and is part of her body of work that includes Dahlia Season, Wish You Were Me, and Painting Their Portraits in Winter.
