Première rédactrice en chef noire d’un célèbre magazine musical, Sunny S. Shelton tient un scoop : Opal & Nev, le duo mythique, se reforme pour un ultime revival, des décennies après leur dernier concert fracassant, à l’été 1970. Comment Neville Charles et Opal Jewel, si radicalement différents, ont-ils pu bouleverser la scène rock, et comment tout a basculé ce soir-là ? Producteurs, stylistes, musiciens, tous ceux qui les ont côtoyés racontent qui ils étaient – et qui ils sont devenus : lui, songwriter britannique en quête de gloire, et elle, icône afro-punk avant l’heure, rebelle et survoltée... Le Dernier Revival d’Opal & Nev nous plonge dans une aventure rock’n’roll plus vraie que nature. Un premier roman immersif et fascinant salué par Barack Obama et Ta-Nehisi Coates. Dawnie Walton vit à Brooklyn.

A poignant fictional oral history of the beloved rock 'n' roll duo who shot to fame in the 1970s New York, and the dark, fraught secret that lies at the peak of their stardom. 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...
