Audio: Happy Ending Reading Series

Tonight, Amanda throws candy at the crowd, it being so close to Halloween and all. And then she is bench-pressed by Benjamin Percy. All wince as Roy Kesey waxes his legs as a performance art/act of protest against the Bush administration. And Min Jin Lee lightens it up a bit by telling us a dirty joke while balancing a spoon — on her nose. They all also read engagingly, even enticingly, and the music is by Max Gabriel.

The Happy Ending Reading Series is curated by Amanda Stern.
