Inhalt
At its core, »Spit and Passion« is about the transformative moment when music crashes into a stifling adolescent bedroom and saves you. Suddenly, you belong. At 12 years old, Cristy C. Road 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 graphic memoir, Road renders the clash between her rich inner world of fantasy and the numbing suburban conformity she is surrounded by. Her gender identity is conflicted: embracing her tomboy nature, Road begins to come to terms with herself as a lesbian woman, building a closet for her secret that becomes her refuge. Road's identification with her teenage self feels genuine, and her recollections of pop culture (both embraced and rejected) of the 1990s will strike nostalgic chords in readers of that generation.
