R.I.Y.L. LIVE!

GMan Tavern • Wrigleyville •

Thursday, September 10 Lagunitas Presents… A Gman Author Series Event… R.I.Y.L. LIVE! with Adam Voith & Julián Martinez Celebrate the publication of Adam Voith’s new novel, RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE. Complimentary copies of the book will be available, and Adam will read some funny parts of the story to you. Free / 21 & over / Doors: 7:00pm / Event: 7:30pm 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. A chance 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 selfhood, status, and cool inside a world designed to stifle all three. 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.
