A review by corncobwebs
Rent Girl by Michelle Tea

I was expecting a traditional graphic novel-style book with panels and speech bubbles and all that, but this was pretty different. It's drawings done from pictures of posed models with the text in a traditional prose format. I continue to love Michelle Tea's writing, how it's so stream of consciousness and richly descriptive. This book details a pretty gritty time in her life, which was interesting to read about since it's so far removed from what my life is like. It seems to repeat a lot of what she's written about in other books, but the illustrations give the narrative a new dimension. Glad I read it, and can't wait for her new book to come out.
