unCommon Authors
unCommon Authors is a monthly video series highlighting exceptional and
unique authors talking about their books.
There’s a fine line between bending the truth and telling bold-faced lies, and Javier Perez is willing to cross it. Victim is a fearless satire about a hustler from the Bronx who sees through the veneer of diversity initiatives and decides to cash in on the odd currency of identity.
