Abstract

Fictional narratives about careers in pop music face the difficulty of representing musical elements via text, but overcome this in a number of ways. A common strategy is to fit the fictitious details into pop history as it is known to readers, especially by way of magazine features and references to actual people and music. Comparisons to well-known sounds or tunes are also supplemented by technical or associative descriptions of music. Several of the novels and stories analyzed in this paper (Gillian Cross: Chartbreak; David Keenan: This is Memorial Device; Lauren Laverne: Candypop; Taylor Jenkins Reid: Daisy Jones & The Six; Dana Spiotta: Stone Arabia; Wendy Erskine: â77 Pop Facts You Didnât Know About Gil Courtneyâ) also integrate the lyrics of the songs into the narrative, drawing a straightforward connection between events and their artistic expression. This, moreover, often serves to make the narrative more relatable to a general audience.
