SUMMARY:R.I.Y.L. Live! with Adam Voith
DESCRIPTION:Adam Voith reads from his new novel Recommended If You Like. He
  will be joined by local writers Katrine Øgaard Jensen and Miles Strucker
 . Complimentary copies of R.I.Y.L. will be available.\nABOUT THE BOOK:\n
 “Absolutely excruciating. I loved it.”\nJOSH TILLMAN\, Father John Mis
 ty\nWhat happens when your taste is real but your world is fake? When your
  longing is legit but channels for expression have been defanged and sanit
 ized?\nRECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE is a novel built from the recorded cassette
  tape monologues of Anderson Humphrey\, a music obsessive and aspiring sno
 b known curiously as The Christian Humper in a vast but isolated undergrou
 nd scene in the 1990s. The stories are oral but recall zine culture at its
  photocopied peak\, when music was still a total identity machine.\nA chan
 ce encounter with a wildly unsuccessful punk band and a newfound zeal for 
 life beyond church camp lead The Humper and his friends on a chase for sel
 fhood\, status\, and cool inside a world designed to stifle all three.\nUn
 der the surface\, or maybe blending into the surface so smoothly you might
  miss it\, there are countless undergrounds beyond those commonly celebrat
 ed in word and song. What is it like to love something that will someday 
 belong to an earlier version of yourself? Voith's immensely readable book
  explores a side of being young both familiar and strange. Recommended if
  you like mirrors.\n— JOHN DARNIELLE\, The Mountain Goats\nPlease Kill M
 e from inside a confessional. Get in the Van after being baptized.\n— KE
 VIN MORBY\nBrutally honest. It’s so unbelievably fucked\, and it’s bea
 utiful. Get on this book immediately.\n— DAMIEN JURADO\nTook me on a sur
 prising tour through a life I did and didn’t lead. I found familiarities
  in deep places I wouldn’t have without this story. So complete. So beau
 tiful and fun. Totally and utterly a home run. \n— JUSTIN VERNON\, Bon I
 ver\nAndy’s tapes are a vulgar comedy of compromise peppered with micro-
 economies\, status games\, moral codes\, humiliations\, delusions\, and li
 ttle bursts of joy as he and the band attempt to cover up their scarlet le
 tter and avoid paying the Christian Rock tax.\nFor the three years he reco
 rds\, Andy’s dispatches are conversational\, breezy\, and funny\, but th
 e jokes belie the depth of The Humper’s project as he wrestles with doub
 t\, shame\, and embarrassment while seeking adventure\, autonomy\, and val
 idation.\nADAM VOITH is a writer\, publisher\, and ex-booking agent.
