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.
