“Provocative and chilling”, it was lauded as one of the best books of 2021, receiving praise from the likes of former US president Barack Obama. “The Final Revival of Opal & Nev” tells the tale of a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude. The book's author, Dawnie Walton, is our guest for Perspective. Her work explores identity, place, and the influence of pop culture.

Journalist and novelist Dawnie Walton joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about U.S. concert culture. Why are live concerts so popular this summer and why have they so often become violent? Walton discusses how recent examples of fan violence speak to racism and sexism in American culture, as well as the role social media plays in fandom. Finally, she reads from her 2021 novel, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, which focuses on the fictional partnership between a Black American woman, singer Opal Jewel, and a white British man, guitarist Neville Charles, and discusses her story's connection to the infamous Altamont Free Concert in 1969.

Welcome to Open Form, a weekly film podcast hosted by award-winning writer Mychal Denzel Smith. Each week, a different author chooses a movie: a movie they love, a movie they hate, a movie they hate to love. Something nostalgic from their childhood. A brand-new obsession. Something they've been dying to talk about for ages and their friends are constantly annoyed by them bringing it up. In this episode of Open Form, Mychal talks to Dawnie Walton (The Final Revival of Opal & Nev) about the 1989 film Say Anything, directed by Cameron Crowe. Dawnie Walton is a fiction writer and journalist whose work explores identity, place, and the influence of pop culture. She has won fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and the Tin House Summer Workshop, and earned her MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Previously, she worked as an executive-level editor for magazine and multimedia brands, including Essence, Entertainment Weekly, Getty Images, and LIFE. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, she lives with her husband in Brooklyn. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Sometimes its okay to believe the hype. Brittany Anderson had heard so much about The Final Revival of Opal and New by Dawnie Walton that she figured it was worth picking up a copy. Little did she know that through this book, she would enter a world of surprises, secrets and betrayal, where a fictional story felt so real that Brittany learned a lot about herself and society. We were blown away by The Final Revival as well after reading it in preparation for this interview, so we made sure to geek out with Brittany about all of our favorite details and moments from the book. Check this episode out to learn what made a fictional character so relatable to Brittany, how strange the line between fact and fiction can really get, and why culturally responsive educators are critical in today's world.

Abby Kincer is a reader and a bookstagrammer, a fun person, an enthusiastic consumer of bookish socks and t-shirts, a user of filters, a wearer of glasses, a possessor of many tote bags and—that’s what I know about her! Because her Instagram is bookstagram through and through, and that’s why she’s here. We asked Abby everything we ever wanted to know about bookstagramming, from how she got started to how she chooses books to how she prefers to interact with authors (kinda not much!).

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I spent five years as an editor with The New York Times—but I still had a lot to learn about helping writers through the process of taking a book from idea to manuscript, and I loved learning it with the Author Accelerator team. What they taught me has changed my approach to editing completely. I didn’t just learn how to help a writer move from one stage of the process to the next—I learned how to help them appreciate how far they’ve come and feel excited about what’s coming next, see their strengths and how they can build on them and trust me to guide them into the hard work that lies ahead.

Dawnie Walton's engaging audiobook is narrated with energy and style by a full cast. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this 2022 Audie Award winner in Fiction, a well-imagined take on the music scene of the 1970s. Janina Edwards, who plays central character S. Sunny Curtis, is convincing, thoughtful, and measured. Both Bahni Turpin (Opal) and James Langston (Nev) give their idiosyncratic '70s rockers nuanced portrayals. The story fires on all cylinders as a pop culture history, a finely imagined story, and a self-reflective search. It's often laugh-out-loud funny—a grand listening experience. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Simon & Schuster Audio.

Black cake by Charmaine Wilkerson is about family, love, pride, tradition, and lies | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/331uxbp “Black Cake is a satisfying literary meal, heralding the arrival of a new novelist to watch.” —Associated Press “A stellar first-time entry from a talented new writer that's full of food, surfing, and rich patois.”—BET “Crafted with delicate intention and textured with a blend of perspectives.”—Vulture “I was instantly taken in by this multigenerational tale of identity, family, and the lifelong push and pull of home. This novel has a tremendous heart at its center, and I felt its beat on every page. What an extraordinary debut.”—Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes “Exquisite and expansive, Black Cake took ahold of me from the first page and didn't let go. This is a novel about the formation and reformation of a family, and the many people, places, and events that can shape our inheritances without our knowing. A gripping, poignant debut from an important, new voice.”—Naima Coster, New York Times bestselling author of What's Mine and Yours “Black Cake has all the ingredients of the tastiest stories: secrets, romance, danger, and a cast of characters so real you want to scream at them one moment and hug them the next.”—Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev “So beautifully written I'm struggling to believe it's a debut . . . The cake is the glue that holds all the layers together and the scenes are so well drawn I could almost taste the cake, feel the warm sea on my skin.”—Nikki May, author of Wahala --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Caribbean-American writer Charmaine Wilkerson's incredible fiction debut, Black Cake is a sweeping family tale about inheritance, memories and secrets. Charmaine discusses the layering of multiple timelines, much like the layering of a cake or the layering of conversation. She also talks about channeling the characters, allowing herself to follow them and see where they take her and having a quarter of the book written in various files before she was certain it was a story. Black Cake is out in the UK on 3rd February 2022 and in the US on 1st February Links https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9780241529928 (Black Cake - Charmaine Wilkerson) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9780241456910 (Another Life - Jodie Chapman) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9780241514696 (Beautiful Country - Qian Julie Wang) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9780349726670 (Olga Dies Dreaming - Xochitl Gonzalez) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9781529414493 (The Final Revival of Opal and Neve - Dawnie Walton) https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6990/9780008375034 (Who They Was - Gabriel Krauze )

There was a time when the kind of music you listened to could fully define the kind of lifestyle you led, says Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal and Nev. It's less restricting now, but your taste in music can still say quite a bit about who you are. In her book and in Tiphanie Yanique's novel Monster in the Middle, music plays at the center of its characters' stories, as they wrestle with figuring out who they are in their relationships, with significant others and their families.

“Pantser” Award winning author and Denison U. prof Michael Croley joins David and Torie. They love/hate Katie Couric's new book and agree/disagree on the latest literary scandal (men posing as a female author). Nobody wins the “worst review ever” contest. Jason Reynolds said “..I'm so happy Dawnie Walton has arrived.” So are we, and we're glad she zoomed in to talk about The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, a wildly creative look at identity, bigotry, love and politics through the life of a 1970s Black punk artist, performing way before her time.

Geoff is back living out his lifetime loves of surfing and music through fiction. The first book discussed is Paul Theroux's Under the Wave at Waimea.  Set in Hawaii, this epic novel follows the life of aging surfer Joe Sharkey as he grapples with a fatal accident that forces him to face down his past. The second book, The Final Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Walton, is a  rock novel set in the 1970s. Cleverly written as an oral history, this book by first-time author Walton examines gender inequality, race and pop culture through the lens of the music industry. The audio version of this book features several voice actors and makes for a compelling listening experience that blurs the line between fiction and reality.Book and resources discussed:100 Foot Wave, HBOUnder the Wave at Waimea by Paul TherouxThe Mosquito Coast by Paul TherouxThe Mosquito Coast, Apple TVThe Great Railway Bizarre by Paul TherouxDaisy and the Six by Taylor Jenkins ReidCrossroads by Jonathan FranzenThe Corrections by Jonathan FranzenGreat Circle: A Novel by Maggie ShipsteadThe Broom of the System by David Foster WallaceInfinite Jest by David Foster WallaceFollow Red Fern Book Review:Instagram: @redfernbookreviewFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/redfernbookreview/Newsletter: https://redfernwriting.com/newsletter

This week, Alexis puts Kari on the spot, for a change, with a game she invented based on the music of the '70s. Will Kari emerge the winner or suffer a defeat so humiliating that she quits the podcast and moves to Florida. Stay tuned. Then, it's on to our book: A fictional story, written as a brilliant profile on one of the greatest and most misunderstood rock duos in history. Think Mick Jagger and Tina Turner - or Grace Jones + David Bowie. It interviews those responsible for Opal and Nev's rise to fame. Each producer, bandmate, and agent tell their side of who the two stars were and what role they played in the horrific event that led to a man's death and Opal and Nev's ostracization by industry insiders and wannabes for years to come.

Now that many of us are getting vaccinated, and can begin to contemplate vacationing, and going places again, it's time to consider who, and what, to take along for the ride.

DAWNIE WALTON is a fiction writer and journalist whose work explores identity, place, and the influence of pop culture. She has won fellowships from MacDowell and the Tin House Summer Workshop, and earned her MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Previously she worked as an executive-level editor for magazine and multimedia brands including Essence, Entertainment Weekly, Getty Images, and LIFE. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, she lives with her husband in Brooklyn. The ecstatic early reader response to the debut novel The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by former magazine editor Dawnie Walton (37 Ink/Simon & Schuster; Hardcover) is unlike any in Simon & Schuster's recent history. Opal Jewel is the proudly Black, female, in-your-face-with-heropinions, Afro-punk pioneer the author wished she'd had the opportunity to idolize when she was 14 and obsessed with rock music. So in the Toni Morrison tradition (“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it”), she brought Opal to the page—bald-headed, goldsuited, and fierce as Grace Jones or Tina Turner. The result is an electric, kaleidoscopic journey told in an oral-history structure of the rise and fall of the fictional early-1970s rock ‘n’ roll duo Opal & Nev. But underneath the colorful characters, bumping concerts, and wild wardrobes, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev is a study of gender disparities, race relations, class, infidelity, tragedy, and moral choices on the road to fame and success.

Laura and I discuss A Special Place for Women, how she loves the fake dating trope, exploring what happens when activism becomes performative instead of genuine, what her writing process look like, her COVID-19 book release video, and much more.

In this episode, I speak with Novelist and Journalist, Dawnie Walton.Dawnie Walton was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. She earned her MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop (2018) and holds a journalism degree from Florida A&M University (1997). Formerly an editor at Essence and Entertainment Weekly, she has received fellowships in fiction writing from MacDowell and the Tin House Summer Workshop.She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband.

Dawnie Walton’s debut novel The Final Revival of Opal & Nev is getting terrific reviews: “Feels truer and more mesmerizing than some true stories. It’s a packed time capsule that doubles as a stick of dynamite,” said The New York Times. “One of the most immersive novels I’ve ever read….This is a thrilling work of polyphony—a first novel, that reads like the work of an old hand,” said Ta-Nehisi Coates. And for good reason. This faux oral history of a ‘70s rock duo undone by a starring role in a racially charged concert incident reads like the best nonfiction pop culture opuses. In this episode, we talk to Walton about the real-life inspirations behind Black punk goddess Opal and white songwriter Nev, why music and politics are often intertwined, and the intriguing historical echoes between the book’s central duo and the post-Wardrobe Malfunction careers of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. We also recommend our favorite books (and a few movies) about the music industry.

The Final Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Walton is a novel Cosmopolitan is calling 'an absorbing tale bursting with colour', told through an oral history reminiscent of bestselling novel Daisy Jones & The Six, but with its own unique style and fully realised characters.  Back in New York in the early 1970s, Opal Jewel is a black punk artist before her time, before afropunk even existed. When she meets British singer, Nev Charles, the two come together like music and lyrics to form a cult band on the rise. But when a rival band signed to their label brandishes a Confederate flag at a promotional concert the night ends in tragedy. Only in 2016 when the band is considering a reunion tour and a young music journalist is writing a piece about them does the terrible truth behind their stardom come to light.

Black women haven't been celebrated enough in rock music. Author Dawnie Walton talks with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot about how that inspired her debut novel, The Final Revival of Opal and Nev, a fantasy rock history about a fierce black singer in the 1970s. Plus Jim and Greg talk with Merry Clayton, whose iconic performance on "Gimme Shelter" still didn't make her a household name. Join our Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3rozD7uBecome a member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/soundopinionsMake a donation via PayPal: https://bit.ly/36zIhZK Record a Voice Memo: https://bit.ly/2PaahgL Featured Songs:Merry Clayton, "Southern Man," Merry Clayton, Ode, 1971Material, "Bustin' Out," Bustin' Out, Celluloid, 1981Talking Heads, "Slippery People (Live)," Stop Making Sense, Sire, 1984Betty Davis, "Dedicated To the Press," Nasty Gal, Island, 1975Betty Davis, "They Say I'm Different," They Say I'm Different, Just Sunshine, 1974The Rolling Stones, "Gimme Shelter," Let It Bleed, Decca, 1969Bobby Darin, "Who Can I Count On?," You're the Reason I'm Living, Capitol, 1963Elvis Presley, "Happy Ending," It All Happened At the World's Fair (Original Soundtrack), RCA Victor, 1963Ray Charles, "I Won't Leave," A Portrait of Ray, ABC, 1968Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Sweet Home Alabama," Second Helping, MCA, 1974Merry Clayton, "Touch The Hem Of His Garment," Beautiful Scars, Ode Sounds & Visuals, 2021Merry Clayton, "A Song For You," Merry Clayton, Ode, 1971Merry Clayton, "Deliverance," Beautiful Scars, Ode Sounds & Visuals, 2021Art d'Ecco, "Tv God," Tv God (Single), Paper Bag, 2021

This week, Nic and James discuss the impending conference season (don't go to hotel rooms with strangers), email etiquette (double check recipients), making the world a more accessible place, and “cancel culture” (do better former Dean Bilek). They also discuss what it means for QPOC to advocate on behalf of themselves, but also the necessity for doing so in today's otherwise violent and ridiculous world hell bent on silencing us. Nic and James round out the conversation with some stellar book recommendations and some general food for thought. Remember to thank a librarian this week!
