Title

The title of the short story, “Same Same but Different”, is an allusion to a New York bar mentioned in the text, as well as a symbol of the narrator’s search for her own identity after the death of her twin sister Molly.

In the text, Same Same but Different is the name of a karaoke bar where the narrator and her sister used to spend their time while in New York, the summer when Molly died: “We used to sing it together at a karaoke bar called Same Same But Different during our J1 summer in New York, her on lead vocals, me on backing.” (ll. 8-9)
