A f*cked-up fairytale: raves & rolling - my journey down the rabbit hole (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781548255855)

Hailing originally from Downey, California, a suburb southeast of Los Angeles, and raised by a single parent, their life changed at the age of thirteen, the year Pan Ellington received a Brother AX-24 Typewriter as a Christmas gift from their father. They wrote their first (& only) play the following summer. An individual to the core, never feeling as though they fit into suburban life, Mx. Ellington first began spending time on Melrose Avenue as a teenager, then in the gay clubs in West Hollywood as a newly out person in the early nineties, and later finding their community in the underground rave scene that once thrived throughout Los Angeles - experiences that have had a great effect on Mx. Ellington's writing. They attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and graduated from Los Angeles City College and UC Berkeley with an Associate's Degree in English and a Bachelor's Degree in Comparative Literature and Media Studies, respectively. They have participated in a master class with Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks (LACHSA), studied with Professor Judith Butler (UC Berkeley), and have presented their paper, "Authorial Trickery: The Writing of Luigi Pirandello and Charlie Kaufmann" at both the Honors Transfer Council of California's annual conference at UC Irvine and at the inaugural Comparative Literature Symposium at UC Berkeley. A writer, artist, and activist, Mx. Ellington currently resides in Berkeley, California with their partner, Elizabeth, dog Edgar, and cats, Scout and Iggy.
