A} Discuss the significance of the title of Nick Hornby's novel High Fidelity. Rob is a 'music nut,' but not necessarily an audiophile: he is much more interested in the quality of the music than in sound quality itself. For example, like Barry and Dick, Rob creates mix tapes almost compulsively, but by the 1990s, tapes (cassettes) were definitely considered 'low-fi.' What, then, are the various meanings of "high fidelity" in the context of the novel?
The essay ought to be approximately 500 words long-the equivalent, roughly, of two double-spaced pages-excluding the works cited page.
