'Is this honest? Are we all being honest here?'You couldn't really call the man soon to be christened TonyInterruptor a heckler, but he seems to feel an unquenchable urge to disrupt and interrupt live cultural events. Who is he? What does he want? Why does he indulge in behaviour that violates the social contract?After just such a public interruption goes viral, a small group of characters determine to find out the answers to these question, and end up learning more than they might possibly like about music, culture, relationships, Art, integrity, each other and their own endlessly disrupted and disruptable selves.As profound as it is exuberant, TonyInterruptor is a comic masterpiece that traces the aftermath of a single event as it reverberates through the online world and its characters' lives, upending everything in its wake and posing fundamental questions about authenticity, the internet, love and, yes, truth.

    Nicola Barker's best novel for some time gets granular with the fall out from a social media post going viral to explore issues of authenticity in art and relationships. TonyInterruptor is populated with a classic Barkeresque cast of characters, glorious in their idiosyncrasies and preoccupations, and spookily, ends with a fight in a club after someone tells a noisy audience member to shut the f*** up which is alarmingly similar to an actual event I caused in the Glee Club in Birmingham twenty years ago!
