Description

At its core, Spit and Passion is in regards to the transformative moment when music crashes into a stifling adolescent bedroom and saves you. All at once, you belong.

At twelve years old, Cristy C. Road is making an attempt to balance the values of a Cuban Catholic circle of relatives together with her newfound queer identity, and begins a chronic obsession with the punk band Green Day. On this stunning graphic memoir, Road renders the clash between her wealthy inner world of fantasy and the numbing suburban conformity she is surrounded by. She finds solace within 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 wonderful thing about the imperfect. Her career started 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.
