Today I’m excited to be releasing a Spotify playlist as a companion to my soon-to-be-self-published novel, Your Silent Face. My hope is that readers will not only be able to enjoy the playlist, but will also be able to use it as 1.) a guide to the musical references within the novel, as well as 2.) the embodiment of what could have passed for the narrator’s ultimate mixtape. Provided below: a link to the playlist and a blurb about Your Silent Face, coming soon.
Coming soon, digital downloads for my self-published debut novel, Your Silent Face.
What lies ahead that doesn’t suck? Summer break forces Stuart Page to return home and wrestle with his fraying ties to the East Side of Flint, his memory an archive of cassettes he would like to erase. His freshman year of college was lame. More early Cure than Spandau Ballet, he might be overheard saying. More Gary Numan than Falco.
Flustered by visits from a stoic viking, fueled by an endless supply of beer, Stu picks apart an obsession with the lead singer of Joy Division and chugs the sour dregs of insecurity as he drunkenly veers through Flint’s blue collar fight culture, summer hook ups, the aftereffects of Old School Catholicism and Reaganomics in Your Silent Face.
