I've watched as she's been influenced by her mentor Eileen Myles to becoming a mentor to others herself, and look forward to each installment of her growing up without a net (see what I did there?). Michelle Tea has written of her passionate mistakes and intricate corruptions, involving and educating the reader at the same time, for 15 years.
Becoming a medical object is rotten, but all that stripped down love that comes with having a baby is such magic.Īdvance copy review courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish this book came out when we were TTC because it would have brought me so much more comfort, but now that my 11-year-old, who was a Clomid-baby, is all big and becoming themself, it didn't have the same urgency it would have if I were in that time of my life. I'm hoping one day my oldest will love Tea's books as much as I do, or will have a Michelle Tea in their life when they need it, just as I did before. Tea's voice is unique: it is strong and funny and self-deprecating and loving and honest. Tea does it with the absolute charm I found in Valencia, the first book I read by her so long ago in my LGBT Lit class (I think that's where I read it-I know it was assigned to me as an undergrad). I love Michelle Tea, and as a person who also writes about experiences with (in)fertility, I am always grateful and greedy for another memoir telling the story of this intense experience.
