It can.... But not all authors are good readers. I watched a video of William Carlos Williams completely butchering sections of
Patterson one time. It's like he'd never seen it before. Disastrous.
Incidentally, when our local repertory theater did Streetcar a couple years ago, they sponsored a "Stella-yelling contest", where people could come down onto the stage and yell "Stelllaaaaaa!" as loud as they could, and win a prize.
