ITEM OVERVIEW
Thirty-seven writers. One rule: each story must be told in the first person. Tea and Catalyst bring together what can only be described as a dream cast of literature's new avant-garde, sandwiched with a few first time in print writers. These stories offer scary, funny, chaotic, moving, poignant, intimate glimpses into lives on the fringe, and they will get you up close and personal with speed freaks, scat freaks, gender benders, shoplifters, sober virgins, cybersexualists, Tourette's syndrome, fetishists, and even a naked Butoh dancer. Contributors include heavy-hitters like J.T. LeRoy, Dennis Cooper, Eileen Myles, Kevin Killian, Pleasant Gehman, Shawna Kenney, and Cunt: A Declaration Of Independence author Inga Muscio.
