SINK OR BURN A Punk Rock Love Story of Resistance, Revolution, and Resilience in a Dystopian Future By Cristy Road Carrera // OUT 2.3.2026 Publisher: Row House Press • Distributor: Simon & Schuster • ISBN13: 9781967182039 https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Sink-or-Burn/Cristy-Road-Carrera/9781967182039 "Sink or Burn, Cristy Road Carrera’s forthcoming genre bending novel, should be read out loud. Carrera’s literary vision combines the political power of Sister Spit, the artistry of underground punk comics, and crunchy epic narratives of the Great American road trip novel."—New Noise Magazine “In Sink or Burn Cristy Road Carrera creates a punk, dystopic opera of a novel, full of her signature obsessions - radical resistance, wild romance, kinship and art. Sprawling, beautiful and inspiring.”— Michelle Tea, Author of Valencia, Knocking Myself Up; 2021 Guggenheim Fellow “Cristy’s work is a force . I’ve collaborated with her on a couple projects. Whether it’s political or romance, she always comes from a place in the heart.” —Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day "Carrera’s near future New America in Sink or Burn is NOW—where queer, poc, punk bands zigzag our hellscape spitting truths so many of us want -need- to survive.” —Michelle Cruz Gonzales, Author of Spitboy Rule, Musician (Spitboy, Kamala & The Karnivores) "When it seems the world is has fallen apart, Cristy Road Carrera does it again, reminding us of our love, power, and resilience one book at a time" —Ever Velásquez, Director Charlie James Gallery, Artist and Santera Curandera "Road's writing has long brought to vivid life the experiences of a queer-identified Latina punk rocker." ―Bitch magazine “Every punk rocker has wrestled with the question, “Am I selling out, or sneaking in?” In Sink Or Burn, Cristy Road Carrera deftly moves us past that binary toward stakes more suited to our current dystopia. Dragging their dreams across a spectacularly ruined America, the band Cheap Glitter and CT, our narrator, face a deftly recast Prisoner’s Dilemma as Carrera urges us to ask 'If all we have is each other, what will we do with this gift?' Suddenly the crossroad is the destination." —Mikki Halpin, Author of Why Is She Anywhere?, Organizer “Cristy C. Road is the Jack Kerouac of [her] queer generation. She's as brilliant a writer as she is an illustrator."―Kate Bornstein, author of A Queer and Pleasant Danger "True to Road's punk nature, she fills the page with raw words and drawings that illustrate the wide range of her emotions―from rage to despair." ―Daily News, New York
