Virdi, making his mainstream debut with a fat fantasy novel, The First Binding and pinning a comment on Goodreads about how much he’s read great works of fantasy and literature looking in vain for his own face staring back at him. So maybe even in these latter days there are heads shaking at Tor over author R. It’s a well-known literary truism that authors are often great burdens to their own books, and if that was true in the days before social media, how much more true is it now, when every latte-slurping ninny with a set of hand-me-down hot takes can trumpet them to the whole Republic of Letters? Nowadays, instead of worrying about their authors cavorting in the Seagram building fountain, publishers have to worry about their authors spouting off on Twitter and either making lots of enemies or all the wrong friends.
