Sound on Sound : A Novel, Hardback Book

Sound on Sound : A Novel Hardback

Hardback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

This inventive first novel deflates the same myths of rock and roll that it glorifies in a vivid exploration of pop culture and the shattered society that emerged from the 1980s. Hi-Fi, a third-rate New York bar band, plays another in a desultory series of low-paying gigs as Reagan's inaugural speech drones from a TV in the background.

Equipment falters, band members flex their egos, and the regular crowd shifts from boredom to borderline violence.

What begins as an inauspicious account of a typical evening at a nightclub soon gives way to a stupefying catalog of trivia about Hi-Fi, the band with the "suburb sound and the suburb feel."
