The final revival of Opal & Nev : a novel / Dawnie Walton. by Walton, Dawnie. Thorndike Press, a part of Gale, a Cengage Company, 2021. Call #: LP FICTION WAL Subjects Women rock musicians -- Fiction.   Rock musicians -- Fiction.   Rock groups -- Fiction.   Nineteen seventies -- Fiction.   New York (N.Y.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781432889654 (hc.) Alternate title:  Final revival of Opal and Nev : a novel. Opal & Nev : a novel. Opal and Nev : a novel. Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  615 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Opal is a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude, Afro-punk before that term existed. Coming of age in Detroit, she can't imagine settling for a 9-to-5 job--despite her unusual looks, Opal believes she can be a star. So when the aspiring British singer/songwriter Neville Charles discovers her at a bar's amateur night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together for the fledgling Rivington Records. In early seventies New York City, just as she's finding her niche as part of a flamboyant and funky creative scene, a rival band signed to her label brandishes a Confederate flag at a promotional concert. Opal's bold protest and the violence that ensues set off a chain of events that will not only change the lives of those she loves, but also be a deadly reminder that repercussions are always harsher for women, especially black women, who dare to speak their truth. Decades later, as Opal considers a 2016 reunion with Nev, music journalist S. Sunny Shelton seizes the chance to curate an oral history about her idols. Sunny thought she knew most of the stories leading up to the cult duo's most politicized chapter. But as her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens to blow up everything"--Publisher. Genre:  Black fiction. Musical fiction. First novel.
