`I must find my own complicated junkie to have violent sex with. In
1994, nothing seemed like a better idea, save being able to write
about it later.' Michelle Tea is our exuberant, witty guide to the
hard times and wild creativity of queer life in America. Along the
way she reclaims SCUM Manifesto author Valerie Solanas as an
absurdist, remembers the lives and deaths of the lesbian motorbike
gang HAGS, and listens to activists at a trans protest camp. This
kaleidoscope of love and adventure also makes room for a defence of
pigeons and a tale of teenage goths hustling for tips at an ice
creamery in a `grimy, busted city called Chelsea'. Unsparing but
unwaveringly kind, Michelle Tea reveals herself and others in
unexpected and heartbreaking ways. Against Memoir is the winner of
the 2019 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay.
Best known as writer of fiction and memoir, this is the first time
Tea's journalism has been collected. Delivered with her signature
candour and dark humour, Against Memoir solidifies her place as one
of the leading queer writers of our time.
