Michele Lee describes herself as the
'fence-sitting' middle child in a large Hmong-Australian family. Banana Girl is the explosive and poignant memoir of her rites of passage.
Sexy, irreverent and nuanced, Lee isn't afraid to lay herself and her relationships bare. Intimacy in an online world, sexual adventures and GenY yearnings, turning thirty as an Asian-Australian woman in inner city Melbourne, and the travails of becoming an artist all capture Lee's riveting gaze. The result is a book that is erotic, witty and revealing, a gutsy true story of self-acceptance that takes hold and won't let go.
