Valencia - Thryft

Searching love amidst San Francisco's radical dyke culture.

If you're intrigued by the raw, unfiltered exploration of queer love and life, "Valencia" is a resonant journey you won't forget. Michelle Tea's candid storytelling immerses you in the pulsating heart of the Mission District, with characters that are as complex and vibrant as the neighborhood itself. It's an authentic dive into a subculture, wrapped in a tale of love, desire, and the quest for identity.

Description

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. Michelle Tea records a year lived in a world of there's knife-wielding Marta, 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.
