LITTLE F - YA Novel
A new epic novel about a teenage queer runaway from legendary author Michelle Tea.
In Spencer’s fantasies, the breezy streets of Provincetown, Massachusetts are utopia, a place where he and his imaginary queer uncle can be free. Yet when a violent attack in his suburban Arizona schoolyard sends him to the hospital, he decides utopia can’t wait. And one night, with the help of his best friend, the teenage witch Joy, he hitches a ride to find it.
The road odyssey that follows brings Spencer from new moon rituals in Arizona canyons to Texas bus stations, from the luxe drag stages of Houston’s Montrose district to the jazz-soaked streets of the French Quarter. This new novel from Michelle Tea tells the story, by turns raw, romantic, and sweet, of a sheltered boy taking his first leap into queer life, among all the complicated queers who live it.
MICHELLE TEA is the author of over twenty books of fiction, memoir, poetry and children’s literature, which have been translated into French, German, Italian, Japanese, Swedish, and Slovenian. Her autofiction Valencia, a cult classic, won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Fiction. Her essay collection Against Memoir was awarded the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for The Art of the Essay. Tea is also the recipient of awards from the Rona Jaffe Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation. The founder of Drag Queen Story Hour, she has received honors from the American Library Association and Logo Television.
LITTLE F was named one of LitHub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2025 and has already received some wonderful praise:
“Spencer’s narrative voice is a delight...Tea’s sincerity and generosity toward her characters [are] a balm. A comical, tender, queer coming-of-age, where the journey is the destination.” —Kirkus
“Dazzling, daring, and darkly hilarious, Little F is a novel that breathes new life into the gay coming-of-age story from a writer whose work has helped define the tradition of queer writing. Gritty with a hopeful twist, this gorgeous book is sure to join the canon of classic young adult coming-out fiction.” —Kai Cheng Thom, author of Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars
“Little F is the book I’ve been needing all my life. It’s like Michelle Tea has a magnifying glass pointed straight into every angsty teenage queer's soul. I can't wait for everyone to meet Spencer, her heartbreakingly tender and deliciously messy hero, whose cross-country odyssey is equal parts To Wong Foo and My So-Called Life. I saw the best parts of myself in this book. The anger. The hunger. The private, indestructible yearning. I laughed so hard I cried.” —Edgar Gomez, author of High Risk Homosexual
