The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb

3.0

Lol I love that the protagonist's mentor is a Black woman with Classical music training, and at no point does he seriously consider how much harder she had it, doing everything he did 30 years earlier and not as a dude. Yet every single chapter centers on how bad he has it as a Black man in the Classical music world. So it's not that he's not aware of how hard it is...it's that he can't seem to imagine how much worse a woman in his position would have experienced it.
