Fiction
Ranging from the wicked noir Shanghai of 1946, to the echo
chambers of Hollywood, to remote, snow-covered mountains,
Stuart Archer Cohen's This Is How it Really Sounds follows
three men, each in search of a different life. Small-town Alaskan "Harry" Harrington is a legend in a small
circle, once the world's greatest extreme skier, racing
avalanches and knocking back flips off of cliffs. Peter
Harrington is a world-famous financier, hated across the
globe for making hundreds of millions of dollars on his
hedge fund, and fleeing New York to begin a new venture in
Shanghai. Finally, there is Pete Harrington, a middle-aged
rock star, now touring third-tier venues and fleeing
bankruptcy, but hoping that one great new song can rescue
him. All are seeking something that has slipped
away—youth, power, purpose, magic; all are wonderful
creations, whose strangely familiar lives and dreams become
unforgettable. Mingling wickedly-funny satire with heart-stopping
adventure, This is How it Really Sounds explores the
seductive power of the unlived life, and what happens when
you finally grasp it.
