'A fast-paced, ambitious, hallucinatory mystery' Publishers Weekly
A dizzying, nail-biting ghost story about modern America from the bestselling author of The Impressionist
Two twenty-something New Yorkers: Seth, awkward and shy, and Carter, the trust fund hipster. They have one thing in common: an obsession with music. Rising fast on the New York producing scene, they stumble across an old blues song long forgotten by history -- and everything starts to unravel. Carter is drawn far down a path that allows no return, and Seth has no choice but to follow his friend into the darkness.
Electrifying, subversive and wildly original, White Tears is a ghost story and a love story, a story about lost innocence and historical guilt. This unmissable novel penetrates the heart of a nation's darkness, encountering a suppressed history of greed, envy, revenge and exploitation, and holding a mirror up to the true nature of America today.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Hari Kunzru’s fifth novel is unflinchingly original. Is it a ghost story? A thriller? A coming-of-age tale of love? Frankly, it’s all of these things. Chronicling the friendship and business relationship between tech obsessive Seth and monied jazz aficionado Carter, we got obsessed with White Tears and its characters’ complex, sinister relationship. As Carter tugs Seth further down into a world of drugs, depression and paranoia, an inexplicably cursed record threatens to change their lives forever.
