Reviews
'I worship at the altar of this book. A keen portrait of a subculture, an instant classic in life-writing, a go-for-broke exemplar of queer feminist imagination, a contribution to crucial, ongoing conversations about whose lives matter, Black Wave is a rollicking triumph.' Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts --------- 'I loved Black Wave. It is completely open and alive, shimmering with the energy of a person desperately seeking their place in the world, only to have the world end around them. When the world does end I hope it ends like this - with dream-synchronicity, an explosion of love, and fucking Matt Dillon on a bookstore counter.' Megan Bradbury, Everyone is Watching --------- 'Black Wave is definitely Michelle Tea's most fearless book. It's a radically honest and scary book. And trust me, it's a bloody and wonderful place Michelle has spun, fantastic, dark, and entirely awake. It shook me up.' Eileen Myles, Chelsea Girls -------- 'Michelle Tea is like no other writer. Black Wave amps her uniquely seductive whirl of ugliness, hilarity, and brainy, sexy, revelry to produce a work with the centripetal pull of a maelstrom. You will be sucked in.' Heidi Julavits, The Uses of Enchantment
