Slanted is not a book to read before bed. Despite being a memoir that rolls up its sleeves and digs into the finer points of intellectual property law, musician and activist Simon Tam’s prose has a fist-pumping, rock ’n’ roll romanticism that makes you wanna get up and kick things.
After reading Tam’s other books—Music Business Hacks and <em<How to Get Sponsorships and Endorsements—I anticipated Slanted would be written this way. His style is clear above all else, yet there’s a ton of personality and voice in there, too. What I didn’t expect was so much gossip.
