Margate Bookshop Event: Michelle Tea

23rd April 2026

CAMP Margate

Cult queen Michelle Tea discusses her raw and romantic road trip novel Little F at CAMP Margate

7pm - 9pm

A tale of baby gays, teen witches and queer utopias...

At the centre of Michelle Tea's sweet and tangy new novel Little F is suburban teen Spencer, who dreams of the breezy streets of Provincetown, a coastal queer haven where he can finally start to live his best gay life. Hospitalised after a violent attack at school, he decides his utopian fantasy can't wait any longer, and hitches across America with his best friend, teenage witch Joy, on a road odyssey that'll take them both from new moon rituals in Arizona canyons to Texas bus stations, and from the Houston drag scene to jazz-drenched New Orleans and far, far beyond.

An organiser, mentor, broadcaster and tarot reader, Michelle Tea is the author of over a dozen books of memoir, fiction, poetry and young people's lit, also curating two themed anthologies - Sluts and Witch - for Cipher Press. Her memoir Valencia won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Fiction, even though it was obviously all true. She'll be discussing Little F with fellow writer Jeremy Atherton Lin, author of the excellent, essential Gay Bar and Deep House.
