TEMPO Lounge ~ Doors 6:30 PM | Reading at 7 PM

Join us for a reading of Adam Voith's novel Recommended If You Like with the author, joined by Hudson Valley authors Miles Strucker and Katrine Øgaard Jensen.

ABOUT THE READING

Recommended If You Like is a novel built from the recorded cassette tape monologues of Anderson Humphrey, a music obsessive and aspiring snob known curiously as The Christian Humper in a vast but isolated underground scene in the 1990s.

The stories are oral but recall zine culture at its photocopied peak, when music was still a total identity machine.

Adam Voith is a writer, publisher, and ex-booking agent.

Absolutely excruciating. I loved it.
— JOSH TILLMAN, Father John Misty

Under the surface, or maybe blending into the surface so smoothly you might miss it, there are countless undergrounds beyond those commonly celebrated 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.
— JOHN DARNIELLE, The Mountain Goats

Please Kill Me from inside a confessional. Get in the Van after being baptized.

Brutally honest. It’s so unbelievably fucked, and it’s beautiful. Get on this book immediately.
— DAMIEN JURADO

Took me on a surprising 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 beautiful and fun. Totally and utterly a home run.
— JUSTIN VERNON, Bon Iver
