Drag Queen Story Hour Hosted by Michelle Tea

Join Lil Miss Hot Mess for a mermaid-themed Drag Queen Story Hour, hosted by Michelle Tea, creator of DQSH! We will be reading mermaid-themed books and making mermaid crafts in preparation for marching in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade in June!

Queer countercultural icon Michelle Tea, author of Black Wave and How to Grow Up, presents a new collection of journalistic essays on all things artistic, romantic, and neurotic. The razor-sharp but damaged Valerie Solanas, a doomed lesbian gang, recovering alcoholics, and teenage misfits: these are some of the larger-than-life, yet all-too-human figures populating America’s fringes – and Tea’s new collection Against Memoir. Delivered with her signature honesty and dark humor, Tea blurs the line between telling other people’s stories and her own, and turns an investigative eye to the genre that’s nurtured her entire career—memoir—and considers the price that art demands be paid from life.

Where: Brooklyn Public Library - Central Library
