Publisher Comments:

Valencia is 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. Through a string of narrative moments, Tea records a year lived in a world of girls: there's knife-wielding Petra, who introduces Michelle to a new world of radical sex; Willa, Michelle's tormented poet-girlfriend; Iris, the beautiful boy-dyke who ran away from the South in a dust cloud of drama; and Iris's ex, Magdalena Squalor, to whom Michelle turns when Iris breaks her heart. Valencia conveys a blend of youthful urgency and apocalyptic apathy.

Wow. Graphic, quirky, and written in a very matter-o-fact fast paced style. It'll catch and hold your attention, funny and more than a bit shocking, like a train wreck of drama, sex, love and comedy.

A fantastic, funny, loving book full of bike messengers, strippers, druggies, tattoos, drinking, and loads and loads of kinky queer sex. Not for the faint of heart, but even the faint of heart should read it.
