Description
Now you can invite that jazzman into the comfort of your own home! Reading Eunoia to yourself was fun, sure, but now you can hear it as it was meant to be read -- by the author himself! Listen as he wraps his mouth around page after page of the most convoluted tongue twister you've ever heard! You can even follow along in your copy of Eunoia as he trips the vowels fantastic! Recorded in the studio by Torpor Vigilante and Coach House author Steve Venright, this CD features Bok reading Eunoia in its entirety -- in his uniquely energetic, well enunciated dadaist style. This CD is a must for anyone interested in the way Eunoia tangos with the English language.
