OverviewBrimming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America, this is Michelle Tea's thrilling coming-of-age tale about a lonely girl lost in the wild kingdom of mall culture. Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring, self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on The Real World, Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs, theme restaurants, and cookie-cutter chain stories of her hometown. After being hired and abruptly fired from Ohmigod! -- the most popular clothing shop at the Square One Mall -- Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose and her life shifts into manic over-drive. Told through Trisha's voice -- both cynical and naive -- Rose of No Man's Land is at once a whirlwind exploration of drop-outs, tattoos, and drugs, and the heart-pounding love story of two atypical girls.
