Description
"Valencia is Michelle Tea's fast-paced account of one girl's search for love and high times in the dyke world of San Francisco. Tea records a year lived in a world of girls: There is knife-wielding Petra, who introduces Michelle to a new world of radical sex; Willa, Michelle's tormented poet-girlfriend, always on the lookout for her one true love; and Iris, the beautiful boy-dyke who ran away from the South in a dust cloud of drama. Ruled by the pursuit of desire, risk, and thrill, the universe Tea describes is a place where everything matters and nothing matters, where all tragedies and ecstasies weigh equally. Valencia is a visceral ride through the queer girl underground of the Mission district."--
