Michelle Tea recommends

The Seas (2004)
Samantha Hunt
"The Seas is creepy and poetic, subversive and strangely funny, [and] a phenomenal piece of literature."

Stray City (2018)
Chelsey Johnson
"A love letter to Portland in the 90s, Stray City is a gorgeous, funny, sharply spot-on tale of growing up and making family again and again and again."

The Future of Another Timeline (2019)
Annalee Newitz
"The mind-blowing punk feminist sci-fi time traveling thriller you've been waiting for, and which our culture desperately needs. Packed with action, sass, righteousness, technology and danger, it just might be a perfect book."

Boys of Alabama (2020)
Genevieve Hudson
"A gripping, uncanny, and queer exploration of being a boy in America, told with detail that dazzles and disturbs."
