Michelle Tea on Making a Queer Family

Sep 13

“It was a very clear decision that had to be made about whether I was going to try to have a child or not. I didn’t necessarily feel emotionally clear about it, I didn’t know 100% if it was what I wanted, or if it was what would be the best thing for me. But a decision just had to be made.”

Michelle Tea is the author of over a dozen books, including the cult-classic Valencia, the essay collection Against Memoir, and the speculative memoir Black Wave. She is the recipient of awards from the Guggenheim, Lambda Literary, and Rona Jaffe Foundations, PEN/America, and other institutions. Knocking Myself Up is her latest memoir.
