Hi - Fi

Hi - Fi

Nick Hornby

With the novel Hi-Fi, Nick Hornby pays tribute to the generation that grows old but does not grow up. To a generation that hums Clash riffs, hotly debates Dustin Hoffman's five best movies, and makes lists of favorite records for rainy Monday mornings.

"Here's how you shouldn't plan your career: a) break up with your girlfriend, b) drop out of college, c) get a job in a record store, d) sell records for the rest of your life." The main character, a thirty-five-year-old owner of a London record store, is stuck in just such a sequence of happy-unfortunate circumstances. After breaking up (again) in a (serious) relationship, Rob Fleming reaches into his own memories and makes an inventory of everything he has read, listened to, watched and dreamed about in his life, drawing the reader into a colorful kaleidoscope of 20th century pop culture. Reading his confession, from his early teenage days to the (im)mature insights on the threshold of his forties, legendary albums, songs, books, series and films line up before our eyes, forcing us to look again among the already somewhat forgotten records, discs and covers, but also into our own memories, which in their depths probably hide rhythms, words and images deeply imprinted in intimate-collective memory.
