Harvard Book Store and GrubStreet Present Bob Proehl

Harvard Book Store and GrubStreet welcome debut novelist Bob Proehl for a reading from his novel A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORLDS.

Valerie Torrey took her son, Alex, and fled Los Angeles six years ago—leaving both her role on a cult sci-fi TV show and her costar husband after a tragedy blew their small family apart. Now Val must reunite nine-year-old Alex with his estranged father, so they set out on a road trip from New York, Val making appearances at comic book conventions along the way. An affectionate portrait of the geeky pleasures of fandom, A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORLDS is also a tribute to the fierce and complicated love between a mother and son—and to the way the stories we create come to shape us.

This event is free and open to the public, and A HUNDRED THOUSAND WORLDS will be 20% off the day of the event.
