“Dabbling in sincerity - another boring gamble.”
Been reading Bad Habits: A Love Story by Cubana writer/graphic artist Cristy C. Road (I assume a Green Day reference?) and if you like your New York with gutter punks, lesbian fisting, donuts filled with strawberry jelly and psilocybin mushrooms, then this is your next subway read. If I may make one of those tortured but well-meaning comparisons, it’s like Bukowski and Cometbus blowing each other on the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. The illustrations are pretty fantastic too. If you need MORE convincing, I am certain she could beat the living shit out of Tucker Max and paint his face with it.
She reads at the Happy Ending Music and Reading Series tomorrow night. We’re thinking of breaking our ban on readings (previously lifted for Doree) to make it.
