Über diesen Titel

A young woman leaves Appalachia for life as a classical musician - or so she thinks.

When aspiring violinist Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman lands a job with a professional ensemble in New York City, she imagines she has achieved her lifelong dream. But the ensemble proves to be a sham. When the group "performs", the microphones are never on. Instead, the music blares from a CD. The mastermind behind this scheme is a peculiar and mysterious figure known as The Composer, who is gaslighting his audiences with music that sounds suspiciously like the Titanic movie soundtrack. On tour with his chaotic ensemble, Hindman spirals into crises of identity and disillusionment as she "plays" for audiences genuinely moved by the performance, unable to differentiate real from fake.

Sounds Like Titanic is a surreal, often hilarious coming-of-age story. Hindman writes with precise, candid prose and sharp insight into ambition and gender, especially when it comes to the difficulties young women face in a world that views them as silly, shallow, and stupid. As the story swells to a crescendo, it gives voice to the anxieties and illusions of a generation of women and reveals the failed promises of a nation that takes comfort in false realities.

Unusual book titles have always appealed to me, so of course "Sounds like Titanic" caught my attention. It's not quite what I expected, but I enjoyed it anyway. It's quite an interesting memoir, not only about fake-playing the violin in an orchestra (what a story!), but also about growing up in the 1990s and a number of social issues.

The narrator's okay, but her tone of voice did grate on me occasionally.
