Description
The fast-paced account of one girl\'s search for love and high times in the drama-filled dyke world of San Francisco\'s Mission District, \"Valencia\" conveys a blend of youthful urgency and apocalyptic apathy.In this gritty, confessional memoir, Michelle Tea takes the reader back to the city of her childhood: Chelsea, Massachusetts -- a place where time and hope are spent on things not getting any worse.Tea\'s girlhood is shaped by the rough fabric of the neighborhood and by its characters -- the soft vulnerability of her sister Madeline and her quietly brutal Polish father; the doddering, sometimes violent nuns of Our Lady of Assumption; Marisol Lewis from the projects by the creek; and Johnna Latrotta, the tough-as-nails Italian dance-school teacher who offered a slim chance for escape to every young Chelsea girl in tulle and tap shoes.Told in Tea\'s trademark loose-tongued, lyrical style, this memoir both celebrates and annihilates one girl\'s tightrope walk out of a working-class slum and the lessons she carries with her. With wry humor and a hard-fought wisdom, Tea limns the extravagant peril of a dramatic adolescence with the private, catastrophic secret harbored within the walls of her family\'s home -- a secret that threatens to destroy her family forever.
