The host, David Macpherson, embraced the 30s and 40s of the New Yorker to create his reading. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe featured performers would come and perform a show based on the writing of someone they always admired, but had passed away, and they wanted other people to dig it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe show was loud and raucous and quite nonsensical. There were also people coming in and reading their own work, and that was always the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a memoir of that reading. David has used his files to reconstruct what that reading was like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy do people go to poetry readings? What do they get out of it? This book might not answer those questions, but it will try. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David MacPherson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798230280576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David MacPherson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.17d","brand":"David MacPherson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580062646527,"sku":"9798230280576","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b0ef364-c3c6-474c-a48b-60a3c8102ac0.jpg?v=1763878536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hangover-hour-david-macpherson-9798230280576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
