Road Cristy C. - Spit And Passion - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Spit and Passion is about the transformative moment when music crashes into a stifling adolescent bedroom and saves you suddenly you belong. In this graphic memoir cult illustrator Cristy C. Road brings "to vivid life the experiences of a queer - identified Latina punk rocker" (Bitch). At twelve years old Cristy is trying to balance the values of a Cuban Catholic family with her newfound queer identity and begins a chronic obsession with the punk band Green Day. In this stunning memoir Road renders the clash between her rich inner world of fantasy and the numbing suburban conformity she is surrounded by. She finds solace in the closet where she lets her deep excitement about punk rock foment and in that angst and euphoria finds a path to self - acceptance. Cristy C. Road has reached cult status for work that captures the beauty of the imperfect. Her career began with Greenzine a punk rock zine which she made for ten years. She has since published Indestructible an illustrated novel about high school; Distance Makes the Heart Grow Sick a postcard book; and Bad Habits a love story about self - destruction and healing. She has also illustrated countless album covers book jackets and political organization propaganda. She lives in Brooklyn New York.
