Desperate to quell her addiction to drugs, disastrous romance, and '90s San Francisco, Michelle heads south for LA. But soon it's officially announced that the world will end in one year, and life in the sprawling metropolis becomes increasingly weird.

While living in an abandoned bookstore, dating Matt Dillon, and keeping an eye on the encroaching apocalypse, Michelle begins a new novel, a sprawling and metatextual exploration to complement her promises of maturity and responsibility. But as she tries to make queer love and art without succumbing to self-destructive vice, the boundaries between storytelling and everyday living begin to blur, and Michelle wonders how much she'll have to compromise her artistic process if she's going to properly ride out doomsday.

When I first read (listened to) BW I wasn't sure about it, but on re-visiting it I'm absolutely converted. I disliked Tea's narration at first, but it grew on me after a while, and eventually seemed to fit well with the form and plot of the story. The novel itself is about lesbians, the apocalypse, love, sex, drugs, death, books, and the West Coast; I love it, but if you're not into lots of drugs and sex you might not. Also if you're not interested in experimental fiction -- the form unspools as the novel goes on, author Michelle separating from fictional Michelle in interesting and compelling ways, but maybe not for everyone. But for me it's a gorgeous and powerful novel about love and identity at the end of the world, and I would recommend this reading of it if you have the time to get lost in it and let Tea's voice wash over you.

I enjoyed this story - it was a bit hopeful, a bit stressed, a bit depressing, and the world was vibrant and violent.

The narration was a bit stilted, but didn't detract too much from the content. Also the content of the book jumped between being a fiction, a memoir, a story being told to us, the novel that the protagonist is writing, the protagonist's memoir, and no lines were clearly drawn between any of it. Maybe this is less disorienting in print? I can't decide if I want to reread it to work it out, or if it tried a little too much of my patience.

Overall I had a decent time.

Jesus, she shouldn't narrate her own books. I couldn't focus on the story, or finish.
