Wish I had more time to read but recently was able to complete kindred spirit C.M. Subasic’s novel about women rockers, 40 Watt Flowers and pen a short review. Colleen’s from Toronto but the story is set in Athens, Georgia where she resided for several years. Blaring with insight, sharply drawn characters and exceptional dialogue, 40 Watt Flowers is a fine, often funny chronicle of four young female musicians and the subculture they inhabit. Though a rather splintered sisterhood at times, together they overcome collective fear to form a band, a shared vision, a sound. Subasic is a marvelous storyteller, evocatively portraying place, process.
