I mute the audio. I replay 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 profile omits a stint on Big Brother and a billionaire 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 stoning in the digital town square that could cancel the likes of Kim Kardashian.
Her executioners? A cartel of unhinged virgins styling themselves after 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: what are you prepared to risk for what you claim to believe?

Recenzii
One of my books of the year. I loved her last novel When I Hit You, but Fieldwork as a Sex Object is even better. Brave, bold, original and brilliantly written
The best book of the year. Fieldwork as a Sex Object is compulsive, confronting, wild and utterly original
One of the most urgent voices of tomorrow
There will be poetic justice when this fierce and brilliant novel goes viral
One of fiction's most fiery and unclassifiable
A revolutionary book by one of the greatest writers of our era
A nuanced narrative... Will simultaneously shock and reel in readers
'A pithy, savagely funny tale of online shaming and the Indian manosphere... Kandasamy is one of India's most exciting writers precisely because she doesn't pull any punches - on the contrary, she really packs them in. '
An uncompromising, unrelenting and unbelievable tour-de-force that nails far-right incels to the wall by their nutsacks
A one-woman, agitprop literary-political movement... It would take Carol Ann Duffy, Arundhati Roy and Salman Rushdie to match her infinite variety
Brilliant and brutal. In this fascinating novel, Kandasamy reveals with a delicate sort of mastery the many modes of oppression exercised against women
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
'Meena Kandasamy's books burst with so much energy that you assume she needs a lie down for months after finishing each one...The book's bouncy form - made up of messages, lists, rants - is a structure from which Kandasamy can hang views about modern life, the empathy gap in social media, activism and the manosphere. But it comes perfectly balanced between anger and comedy.'
'Meena Kandasamy's striking writing style has readers excited to read her exploration of incels, influencers and AK-47s, in a world where everything online is becoming frighteningly real.'
