What to expect

A NEW NOVEL OF INCELS, INFLUENCERS AND AK-47S EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

FROM THE WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED POET AND PROVOCATEUR


'A one-woman, agitprop literary-political movement' INDEPENDENT
I mute the audio before replaying it frame by frame - in dread, in desperation. I watch the video four times. It is not me. It is my fucking face.

Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a communist on Twitter (her bio omits a cameo on reality TV and millionaire daddy who runs the show at Delhi High Court).

When a deepfake porno of her 'forwarded many times' by WhatsApp aunties goes viral, the truth finally catches up. On her birthday, Amy is battling a stoning in the digital town square that could cancel even Kim Kardashian.

Her executioners? An unhinged cartel of virgins styling themselves after V for Vendetta - except these keyboard warriors are on a merciless crusade to eradicate desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again.

A muscular work where the online turns offline turns bloody, this is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you. Fieldwork as a Sex Object asks every one of us how much we're prepared to risk for our principles.

Independent
Kandasamy's work becomes more bold and exciting with each new book

She has a gift for words that lights fires in others
The Hindu
The first thing that strikes you with Kandasamy, if you have not read her before, is that she has a feather-light touch and yet complete control of her words
