"The Subtweet is affecting, unnerving, empowering, and often truly LOL." -- Foreword Reviews, starred review
"A beautifully crafted novel about race, music, and social media." -- Booklist
Includes an exclusive free soundtrack
Celebrated multidisciplinary artist Vivek Shraya's second novel is a no-holds-barred examination of the music industry, social media, and making art in the modern era, shining a light on the promise and peril of being seen.
Indie musician Neela Devaki has built a career writing the songs she wants to hear but nobody else is singing. When one of Neela's songs is covered by internet artist RUK-MINI and becomes a viral sensation, the two musicians meet and a transformative friendship begins. But before long, the systemic pressures that pit women against one another begin to bear down on Neela and RUK-MINI, stirring up self-doubt and jealousy. With a single tweet, their friendship implodes, a career is destroyed, and the two women find themselves at the centre of an internet firestorm.
A library built by the people and dedicated to the advancement of learning. Free to all.
Reading slumps are hard so be gentle with yourself! Several very different books that our librarians plowed through recently: FRESH by @margotwood, THE SUBTWEET by @vivekshraya, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO by @tjenkinsreid.
