THIS IS HOW IT REALLY SOUNDS

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.
