About this listen
An iconic, must-read novel of incels, influencers and AK-47s
I mute the audio. I replay the video four times. It is my fucking face.
'The best book of the year' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS, author of Fundamentally
'Nuanced... Will simultaneously shock and reel you in' VOGUE
'Revolutionary. One of the greats' NIKITA GILL, author of Hekate
'Kandasamy is fearless' ESQUIRE
'An unbelievable tour de force' NIKESH SHUKLA, author of The Good Immigrant
Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a communist on Twitter (her profile omits a stint on Big Brother and a millionaire daddy running the show at the High Court of Delhi).
Then reality hits: a deepfake porno of her forwarded around by WhatsApp aunties goes viral. On her birthday, Amy wakes to a mob stoning in the digital town square that could cancel the likes of Kim Kardashian.
Her executioners? A vigilante cartel of unhinged virgins cosplaying V for Vendetta - except these keyboard warriors are on a ruthless crusade to wipe out desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again.
A muscular, monumental work of internet literature in which the online turns offline turns bloody,
Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you and dares to ask:
what are you prepared to risk for what you claim to believe?

Critic Reviews
The best book of the year. Fieldwork as a Sex Object is compulsive, confronting, wild and utterly original (Nussaibah Younis, Women's Prize-shortlisted author of Fundamentally)
One of the most urgent voices of tomorrow
A revolutionary book by one of the greatest writers of our era (Nikita Gill, author of Hekate)
One of fiction's most fiery and unclassifiable
An uncompromising, unrelenting and unbelievable tour-de-force that nails far-right incels to the wall by their nutsacks (Nikesh Shukla, author of The Good Immigrant)
A nuanced narrative... Will simultaneously shock and reel in readers
There will be poetic justice when this fierce and brilliant novel goes viral (Lemn Sissay, author of My Name Is Why)
A one-woman, agitprop literary-political movement... It would take Carol Ann Duffy, Arundhati Roy and Salman Rushdie to match her infinite variety
Kandasamy is fearless on the page
Her prose is electric, at once brave and poetic and satirical
Kandasamy's work becomes bolder and more exciting with each new book
