Venita Blackburn

4.9/5 (26519 ratings)

Description:Hilarious, tough, and tender stories from a farseeing star on the riseVenita Blackburn’s characters bully and suffer, spit and tease, mope and blame. They’re hyperaware of their bodies and fiercely observant, fending off the failures and advances of adults with indifferent ease. In “Biology Class,” they torment a teacher to the point of near insanity, while in “Bear Bear Harvest™,” they prepare to sell their excess fat and skin for food processing. Stark and sharp, hilarious and ominous, these pieces are scabbed, bruised, and prone to scarring.Many of the stories, set in Southern California, follow a teenage girl in the aftermath of her beloved father’s death and capture her sister’s and mother’s encounters with men of all ages, as well as the girl’s budding attraction to her best friend, Esperanza. In and out of school, participating in wrestling and softball, attending church with her hysterically complicated family, and dominating boys in arm wrestling, she grapples with her burgeoning queerness and her emerging body, becoming wary of clarity rather than hoping for it.A rising star, Blackburn is a trailblazing stylist, and in 'HOW TO WRESTLE A GIRL' she masterfully shakes loose a vision of girlhood that is raw, vulnerable, and never at ease.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
