The Village Voice called Passionate Mistakes \"the legacy of thirty years of feminism,\" and Eileen Myles, writing in the Nation, hailed the novel as \"a hunk of lyric information that coolly, then frantically, describes the car wreck of her generation. \"The too-smart, caustic, and radiant narrator of Passionate Mistakes is, at twenty-seven, an ex-Goth, ex-drummer, ex-straight girl, ex-lesbian separatist vegan graduate of vocational high school in the working class town of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Written with lyrical precision and charm, the novel describes a journey with no final destination, a fast-paced and picaresque road trip that yields a redemptive vision of an America that has nothing left to offer its youth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of a Semiotext(e) classic includes critical essays by Brandon Stosuy and Eileen Myles that describe Michelle Tea's achievement as a literary innovator and cultural icon.
