No offence to these authors, truly, but their work doesn\u2019t speak to me. Thankfully, Dazed 100 alumni Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107 is here to provide the good time girls with their deserved reading material: perfect prose for when you\u2019re trying to avoid eye contact on the tube on the way to a party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Croatian-born, previously LA-based and now residing in Milan, Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107\u2019s sharp writing perfectly captures her cool city girl protagonists. Her debut dark comedy novel, <\/span><em><span>Life of the Party, <\/span><\/em><span>follows Mia\u2019s debauched antics in the world of Milanese fashion nightlife. Set in the 2000s, <\/span><em><span>A Cigarette Lit Backwards<\/span><\/em><span> tells the story of young punk Kat as she seeks acceptance in her local underground scene. Now, in her heartbreakingly hilarious latest offering, <\/span><em><span>Give Me Danger<\/span><\/em><span>, Val unravels under the weight of grief and career expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The story will be deeply relatable for anyone who\u2019s spent a large part of their career trying to infiltrate creative industry circles only to realise that they\u2019re rife with self-important clout chasers. It\u2019s no surprise to learn that the protagonists of all three books are rooted in the author\u2019s own experiences, if their similarly punchy three-letter names didn\u2019t already give it away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Having devoured the book in almost a single sitting, it <\/span><span>felt <\/span><span>incredibly swaggy to speak with a slightly under-the-weather Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107, accompanied by her nurse and cutesy canine companion, Winkle. Read below as we discuss writing through personal struggles, the financial reality of being a modern-day creative and the importance of going out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hey Tea! Our mutual late friend and fellow party girl Eden Young put me onto your work because your writing feels like going out rather than reading.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107:<\/strong><span> I actually met her in person once; we were Tumblr besties! What we all shared in that era is really hard to describe to people who weren\u2019t there: we had our own girl world, but it wasn\u2019t for views, likes, clicks and attention. My first blog was anonymous, but it was about real connection! We went out to live and then later tell the real stories; it was less performative than it is now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>They\u2019re trying to replace us with AI. We just need to keep doing our art.

I go out, I go to parties, I hang out with the kids and really try to stay open. But I see people taking the video or photo, posting and being like \u2018OK, I\u2019m done, time to go home and get my beauty sleep so I can do my morning shed and do my fucking content\u2019. It\u2019s not their fault! I don\u2019t blame the kids; we\u2019re just trapped in this hell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Were you in a similar mindset while writing <\/strong><strong><em>Give Me Danger<\/em><\/strong><strong>?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107: <\/strong><span>I was so miserable when I was writing this book; I was going through a really dark time. My mother tried reading [it] and said she can\u2019t, not because of the subject matter, but how dark a period it was. I felt frustrated; I was feeling very unfulfilled by the \u2018success\u2019 that I\u2019d had and not had, which I wanted to express through the book. I was also mourning the very real death of this editor, Giancarlo DiTrapano [founder of Tyrant Books]. The book is based on when I went to his memorial in New York after his death and I got exposed to the extreme cuntiness of the NY literary world. The main character \u2013 who is a writer \u2013 predicts her own divorce through a book she writes, and then I end up getting divorced after I finish writing this book. Really weird shit; sometimes art is powerful. Writing it served as a sort of exorcism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I was going to ask, how much of yourself do you include in these characters? It seems like a lot!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107: <\/strong><span>My first two books were basically autobiographies, but I insist everything is fiction to protect people because I don\u2019t want drama. My first book [<\/span><em><span>Life of the Party]<\/span><\/em><span> was all true, my second [<\/span><em><span>A Cigarette Lit Backwards]<\/span><\/em><span> a little less. This is my most fictional so far, because Val, the protagonist, is like the alternate dimension Tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This was also my first-ever third-person book, which was really annoying as someone who learned to write via blogging and doing articles for <\/span><em><span>Vice<\/span><\/em><span>. It was always first person, present tense: I\u2019m going to the party, I\u2019m sucking a dick in the bathroom. Now it\u2019s like: \u2018she was on her way to the party to do some coke in the bathroom.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"300b6ea8-3d8c-4044-830d-b39900cf1378\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/0\/1430937.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.8\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107\" class=\"img\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430937.jpg\" width=\"2000\" title=\"1430937\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>As a creative person in the city, have you ever had to pick up extra jobs to support yourself?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107: <\/strong><span>I\u2019ve worked in nightclubs, catering, everything. But the strangest one was when I was tutoring TOEFL students. I was making good money, but I was walking in there, straight from the after-party, reeking of cigarettes, trying to get through my headache and these math problems: I was basically teaching them how to cheat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>These days, I\u2019ve got my podcast and I teach at NABA University, which I used to go to. I\u2019m also making videos for Zalando, I\u2019m DJing; we need a million jobs to get by these days. You can\u2019t just get a book deal and be fine anymore. That\u2019s also what this book is about: these crumbling industries where you climb up the ranks, where 20 years ago you would have had a company card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any advice for people also on the hustle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tea Ha\u010di\u0107-Vlahovi\u0107: <\/strong><span>I say don\u2019t give up, no matter what, because they want artists to give up by making it impossible to survive. They\u2019re trying to replace us with AI. We just need to keep doing our art. I think maybe we will starve to death, but it\u2019ll be chic of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s a moment in the book where Val gets into Chateau Marmont in a bikini.

Now it\u2019s all a code on an iPad. I used to work as the door girl on fashion parties in Milan back in the day, and you had to know who was worth letting into a party. It could be a kid who lives on the street, but if he has a cool blanket over his shoulders and is chic, you let him into the party over the guy who just wants to get a table with his five girlfriends. In those days, you needed to have taste, you needed to have that skill and the stamina. Now you go to a fashion party and it\u2019s girls shivering, hired to hold the iPad with the definitive list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>The process of writing through traumatic shit helps you process it.

But you also have to be sober to write, you have to be awake and have your shit together. The process of writing through traumatic shit helps you process it.

We need nightclubs and bars because that\u2019s where community is formed, where girls, gays, freaks and sluts can go and be themselves after a whole day of having to be friendly in customer service, being afreaking robot in an office or just pretending to be a good wife to somebody.
