Having just given birth as a queer woman over the age of 40 — after blogging for xoJane about the long process of getting pregnant, and overseeing the production of her 2000 novel Valencia into a feature film directed by 21 filmmakers, and starting a new imprint under City Lights Books — Michelle Tea celebrates the publication of a memoir, How to Grow Up. Author of many other books including Rent Girl, Rose of No Man's Land, and the young-adult Chelsea Trilogy, Tea has a voice and a presence that will have you Googling the characteristic of being naturally imitable. Her life has been an unlikely series of adventures and, by many opinions — from those she's affected through the troupe Sister Spit, or any member of the community she's helped to foster here through Radar Productions — an unconventional success. She is reading from the new memoir at Books Inc. Castro, where she used to work.
