Silicon Valley Girl: My Adolescent Life and Times, and on Ode to Generation X

Maya Morrow

4.9/5 (10088 ratings)

Description:Inspired by the life and works of poet Sylvia Plath, including Plath's published journals, Maya Morrow presents her own coming-of-age journey in this collection of raw and uncensored diaries spanning a decade and a half. The story begins Christmas 1984 and ends in 1999, when the author, twenty-six, rediscovers the handwritten diaries for the first time. "These diaries are compelling enough on their own," Morrow writes. "However, what makes this coming-of-age story different from many others is that it gives the reader a glimpse of not just an average, American middle class girl's life - it highlights the fact that my life was that, and I'm Afro American. When The Cosby Show came on, I saw my family on television, and didn't understand why the media said the show was an unrealistic depiction of African American life. It was realistic; it was my life!"Set against a backdrop of cultural touchstones any Gen-Xer would recognize, Silicon Valley Girl: My Adolescent Life and Times, and an Ode to Generation X offers a deeply personal look at the emotional life of a teenager of color trying to make sense of race, class, and sexuality at the dawn of Post-Cold War America.

She is a mother of two and is currently working on her second book, Silicon Valley Girl: The Morning Papers - Poetry, Love Letters, and the Notes I Passed in High School.To sign up for her mailing list and receive updates on blog entries, current events, and upcoming book releases, please go to mayamorrow.rocks or siliconvalleygirl.blogWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
