How to Grow Up
aA gutsy, wise memoir-in-essays from a writer praised as aimpossible to put downaaaPeople From the author of the acclaimed genre-bending Black Wave comes this moving personal essay collection about the trials and triumphs of shedding your vices in order to find yourself. As an aspiring young writer in San Francisco, Michelle Tea lived in a scuzzy communal house: she drank; she smoked; she snorted anything she got her hands on; she toiled for the minimum wage; she dated men and women, and sometimes both at once. But between hangovers and dead-end jobs, she scrawled in notebooks and organized dive bar poetry readings, working to make her literary dreams a reality. In How to Grow Up, Tea shares her awkward stumble towards the life of a Bona Fide Grown-Up: healthy, responsible, self-aware, and stable. She writes about passion, about her fraught relationship with money, about adoring Barneyas while shopping at thrift stores, about breakups and the fertile ground between relationships, about roommates and rent, and about being superstitious (awhy not, it imbues this harsh world of ours with a bit of magica). At once heartwarming and darkly comic, How to Grow Up proves that the road less traveled may be a difficult one, but if you embrace lifeas uncertainty and dust yourself off after every screw up, slowly but surely, you just might make it to adulthood. aWild, wickedly funny, and refreshingly relevant.a aElle aThis compulsively readable collection is so damn good, youall tear through the whole thing (and possibly take notes along the way).a aBustle From the Trade Paperback edition.aA gutsy, wise memoir-in-essays from a writer praised as aimpossible to put downaaaPeople From the author of the acclaimed genre-bending Black Wave comes this moving personal essay collection about the trials and triumphs of ...
