Indestructible

Stemming from ten years of zine writing and five years of eccentric illustration, Cristy C. Road debuts her first illustrated novel. Indestructible chronicles the misadventures of wildly eccentric, Latino, queer, punk rock, and angst-ridden teenagers, enveloping concepts of growing up female, sexual curiosity, surviving as working class, teenage promiscuity, bad reputations, drug abuse, coping with death, and punk rock; all in a swift 96-page illustrated novel! Within the pages of Indestructible, Road documents her progressing adolescence and tackles individual situations with intricate detail alongside slight romanticizing and gorgeous full-page black and white illustrations. Through the novel, Road trickles through the stigmatized aspects of teenage-girl sexuality, condemns stagnant double standards, and tackles the concepts of gender and cultural socialization, with an eagerness towards fighting what we are "taught."
