my story
Tell us something about this new book.
Honey Mine is an adventure story as well as an exploration of sex and gender and American realities. It's a cross between an excavation and a romp. For me, the book creates a record of surviving and thriving under conditions of danger. It's faithful to the experience of a young person who is overwhelmed and passionate and completely impacted by everything that surrounds her. The book is new because it’s female and lesbian; old because it’s just American.
How would you characterize the style of your book?
Juicy, sexy, witty, sly. Also investigative, narrative, experimental, and urban. It's a New Narrative work.
Coming to San Francisco and encountering New Narrative taught me how to write. My own reality was challenging. New Narrative gave me a way in. I believe this is why it continues to be interesting; it’s a set of techniques for representing realities that are outside the mainstream.
