Description

`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.
