Carter is more glamorous, the heir to a great American fortune. But they share an obsession with music–especially the blues. One day, Seth discovers that he’s accidentally recorded an unknown blues singer in a park. Carter puts the file online, claiming it’s a 1920s recording by a made-up musician named Charlie Shaw. But when a music collector tells them that their recording is genuine–that there really was a singer named Charlie Shaw–the two white boys, along with Carter’s sister, find themselves in over their heads, delving deeper and deeper into America’s dark, vengeful heart. White Tears is a literary thriller and a meditation on art–who owns it, who can consume it, and who profits from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003eHARI KUNZRU is the author of five previous novels: «White Tears», «The Impressionist», «Transmission», «My Revolutions», and «Gods Without Men».
