Our Expanding Universe by Alex Robinson Book Release Event
Our Expanding Universe by Alex Robinson
Book Release Event November 18, 2015 at Parkside Lounge NYC
The award-winning author of Box Office Poison, Tricked, and Too Cool to Be Forgotten returns to his home turf, as a small constellation of city-dwellers take a frightening step into the unknown: parenthood.
Amid dinner parties, game nights, and hospital stays, a once-tight group of friends wrestle with the shifting shapes of their lives. Under the pressures of marriage and the passage of time, will they cling to the past, leap into the future, or self-destruct? Hey, not every implosion leads to a Big Bang…
A 256-page, b&w softcover graphic novel will be released and available November 2015
In celebration of the book’s release, join author Alex Robinson on November 18, 2015 from 7-8pm at the Parkside Lounge, 317 E. Houston St., New York, NY 10002.
