Bad Kid: A Witty Journey Through Gay Identity, Goth Subculture, and the Trials of Growing Up in the 80s (P.S.

His memoir Bad Kid is a delightfully funny, and devastatingly touching, portrait of the artist as a queer Goth kid growing up in San Antonio in the eighties among skinheads and preps, gays and geeks. Very School of John Waters in his infatuation with (and genius for evoking) trashy Americana, Crabb winds up taking us to the sweet spot of literature: the truth. I rarely laugh or cry when reading. Bad Kid moved me to both.
