That's the mystery at the heart of Danielle M moire's novel, which opens with a writer on stage at a public reading--a public reading that isn't one, because she never reads a word, much to the audience's annoyance. When an audience member finally heckles her, the writer's response sets off a chain reaction of nested stories that tumble one after another like a row of dominoes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach storyteller in the series (most are writers at public readings) builds on what's come before while often radically changing its meaning. Along the way, we encounter fatal stepladders, a painter obsessed with a transom window, a lovestruck dog-walker, and a lost cat restored to its owners through divine intervention. Playful, thought-provoking, and utterly unique, \u003ci\u003ePublic Reading Followed by Discussion\u003c\/i\u003e defies classification and invites every reader to join the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943150601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Danielle M\u0026#233;moire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38607521808565,"sku":"9781943150601","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_17c9708f-f952-485a-a399-67fdd7a0b41a.jpg?v=1614089269","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/public-reading-followed-by-discussion-9781943150601","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
