In Tea's skillfully loose, lusty prose, Michelle is both vulnerable and brash, blitzing through lovers and bags of heroin, terrified but also convinced of her own invincibility. A biting, sagacious, and delightfully dark metaliterary novel about finding your way in a world on fire. Gliding deftly through issues of addiction and recovery, erasure and assimilation, environmental devastation and mass delusion about our own pernicious tendencies, this is a genre- and reality-bending story of quiet triumph for the perennial screw-up and unabashed outsider.


–New York TimesĮvents, though outlandish, are narrated with total conviction, and powerfully express the intensity both of attaining sobriety and of the writing process. A Gen-X queer girl's version of the bohemian counter-canon.
