The follow up to Greenzine #14; Cristy Road now offers up a novel about her years in grade school and high school in Miami - valiantly trying to figure out and defend her gender identity; cultural roots; punk rock nature; and mortality. You know that the artwork alone in here makes this a page-turner and the whole package more exciting. Cristy has always existed to remind us of the strength and ability of punk youth - for addressing things like rape; homophobia; and misogyny. This is no exception; giving voice to every frustrated 15-year-old girl under fire from her peers for being queer or butch or punk.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. From AmericaBy WillI was the only person in my entire high school who had ever heard a Pulp song. I was hoping that when I graduated and went to college; Id meet some more... "cultured" people. Unfortunately; it was just some more of the same stuff. I bought this book and began to write bits of each selection on the whiteboard in my English class. After 3 weeks of confusing my classmates; I finally got around to showing them some Pulp songs. And they liked it! They said that they were able to connect to the songs and the lyrics; which Im not surprised by. Jarvis Cockers lyrics are down-to-earth and real; just like he is.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. a must for jarvis cocker and pulp fansBy E.R.K.BryanReally enjoyed this book. Ive always loved the wit and story-telling in Jarvis Cockers lyrics and this book collects some of the best lyrics with an intro and notes by Cocker. I especially liked the notes and the insight they provide into the context of the lyrics. Easy to navigate on the Kindle as well; though Ill probably buy a physical copy as well to make it easier to flip between the text and notes. I ordered it on the Kindle because I just couldnt make myself wait for a book to arrive! A great collection for a fan or anyone who enjoys superb song-writing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Raul C. Herrerait came autographed by Jarvis
