Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Publishers Weekly called Michelle Tea "a modern-day Beat, a kind of pop ambassador to the world of the tattooed, pierced, politicized and sex-radical queer-grrls of San Francisco. [She] dramatizes the hopes and hurts, apathies and ambitions of young lesbians looking for love in the Mission District." Rent Girl continues Tea's graphic and uncompromising autobiographical bender, telling the story of her years as a prostitute, with provocative and richly illustrated work by Laurenn McCubbin.

Synopsis:

A graphic and uncompromising autobiographical bender, the story of Tea's years as a prostitute, with provocative illustrations by Laurenn McCubbin.

A must for Michelle Tea fans. Tea takes her irresistably gritty storytelling ability one step further by teaming up with illustrator Lauren McCubbin to create a powerful, entertaining, and enjoyably off-color graphic novel.
