88 reviews"Bold, witty, ominous & vulnerable . . . How to Wrestle a Girl shines in its propensity to magnify small moments, challenge our presumptions & dissect the beauty, danger & wonder of girlhood." --The New York Times Book Review
Hilarious, tough, & tender stories from a farseeing star on the rise.
Venita Blackburn’s characters bully & suffer, spit & tease, mope & blame. They’re hyperaware of their bodies & fiercely observant, fending off the failures & advances of adults with indifferent ease. In “Biology Class,” they torment a teacher to the point of near insanity, while in “Bear Bear Harvest™,” they prepare to sell their excess fat and skin for food processing. Stark & sharp, hilarious & ominous, these pieces are scabbed, bruised, & prone to scarring. Many of the stories, set in Southern California, follow a teenage girl in the aftermath of her beloved father’s death & capture her sister’s & mother’s encounters with men of all ages, as well as the girl’s budding attraction to her best friend, Esperanza. In & out of school, participating in wrestling & softball, attending church with her hysterically complicated family, & dominating boys in arm wrestling, she grapples with her burgeoning queerness & her emerging body, becoming wary of clarity rather than hoping for it.
A rising star, Blackburn is a trailblazing stylist, &she masterfully shakes loose a vision of girlhood that is raw, vulnerable, & never at ease.
