Brendan Slocumb, THE VIOLIN CONSPIRACY: A Novel

Zibby is joined by debut novelist Brendan Slocumb to talk about one of her favorite new releases, The Violin Conspiracy, which is this month's GMA pick! Brendan shares which parts of the book were inspired by his own life story, how this book grew from a failed attempt at a science fiction manuscript in 2007, and what he loves most about teaching music. Brendan also shares how he wrote this novel in two and a half months during the pandemic and why it is so important to bring more people of color into the world of music, especially at the highest echelons. Join Zibby and Brendan for an event with Politics & Prose on 2/9 by registering here!
