Sounds Like Titanic: A Memoir By : Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman
Book Excerpt :
Hailed as ?outrageously funny? (O, The Oprah Magazine) and ?deeply moving? (Los Angeles Review of Books), Sounds Like Titanic tells the story of how Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman became a fake violinist. Raised in rural Appalachia and struggling to pay college tuition in the big city, Hindman joins her first a professional ensemble. But the job is a sham: when the group ?performs,? the microphones are off while music blares from a hidden CD. On tour with this unique ensemble and its mysterious composer, Hindman ?plays? for audiences genuinely moved by the performance but unable to distinguish real from fake. At once a coming-of-age memoir and an incisive articulation of modern anxieties of gender, class, and ambition, Sounds Like Titanic is ?angry, merciless, empathetic . . . [and] hugely entertaining? (Tom Bissell).?A memoir of millennial economic ennui, a clever illustration of navigating impostor syndrome and the gig economy.? ? @nytimesbooks
