Free Love

Michelle Tea is our luminary of optimistic rebellion-sassy, astute, quicksilver, a master of the hot mess, with a legendary stature reaffirmed by wave upon wave of new readers -- Jeremy Atherton Lin
This is the polyamory book I've always wanted - nitty-gritty gooey honesty cut with a zoomed-out historical, political, spiritual context. Tea reminds us that a radical, expanded life might also be the most stable and sustaining life -- Miranda July, New York Times-bestselling author of All Fours
Moving across decades, generations, even centuries, Michelle Tea's Free Love approaches polyamory with the energy, wit and luminosity she brings to all her books. Without discounting any of the awkwardness and problems open relationships may bring, Tea embraces various experiments in liberated living as aspirational paths to creating better worlds -- Chris Kraus
Free Love is many books at once - a survey of the liberationist history of polyamory, a memoir of Tea's own experiments in the field, and a guide to some of the most intrepid, lively figures currently out there exploring the field. As always with Tea, however, the book vaults above these laudatory achievements, and - by dint of Tea's unrivalled vulnerability, wit, and curiosity - invites us to revisit our own lives, reorder our own programming, and consider how we, too, might live in pursuit of better love and a better world -- Maggie Nelson
I loved this reckless, joyful, disobedient book. Tea's resolute quest for midlife freedom and pleasure is both sparky and inspiring -- Olivia Laing
Michelle Tea writes with great energy and insight. Free Love is smart, colorful and very funny -- Cat Marnell, author of How to Murder Your Life
