“A fierce and funny exploration of her past and of what it means to belong.”
—The Telegraph
“At every turn . . . her fresh, vivid way of putting things stops one dead in admiration.”

“She writes in flights of poetry. . . . She is equally deft with straightforward prose, in which she makes sharp, wry observations on her myriad themes—love, sex, technology, society, art, the life and death of the spirit.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Blazingly good.”
—Daily Mail
“Arguably the finest and most hopeful memoir to emerge in many years, and, as such, it really should not be missed.”
