The story you’ve relaxed into becomes, well, not real. The stitching of this piece of fiction unravels, revealing a meta-glimpse into Michelle’s awareness as both writer and narrator. Once Michelle arrives in LA, a couple things happen. Her friends don’t believe her, but Michelle lives up to her promise-after a few more binges and a few more kisses- convincing a lover to rent a U-haul and drive her south. The narrator, Michelle-a hard-partying, drink and drug-loving, San Franciscan lesbian writer-decides it’s time to get out of dodge, and announces her plan to move to Los Angeles.
In Michelle Tea’s newest book, Black Wave, this is the case: as 1999 progresses, the state of the declining world moves rapidly toward decimation. What if the world had ended in 1999? How would the story of your life have changed?
