A gutsy, wise memoir-in-essays from a writer praised as impossible
to put down (People) As an aspiring young writer in San Francisco,
Michelle Tea lived in a scuzzy communal house; she drank, smoked,
snorted anything she got her hands on; she toiled for the minimum
wage; and she dated men and women, and sometimes both at once. But
between hangovers and dead-end jobs, she scrawled in notebooks and
organized dive bar poetry readings, working to make her literary
dreams real. In How to Grow Up, Tea shares her awkward stumble
towards the life of a Bonafide Grown-Up: healthy, responsible,
self-aware, stable. She writes about passion, about her fraught
relationship with money, about adoring Barney's while shopping at
thrift stores, about breakups and the fertile ground between
relationships, about roommates and rent, and about being
superstitious (why not, it imbues this harsh world of ours with a
bit of magic.) At once heartwarming and darkly comic, How to Grow
Up proves that the road less traveled may be a difficult one, but
if you embrace life's uncertainty and dust yourself off after every
screw up, slowly but surely you just might make it to adulthood.
