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.
