Talk and Book Signing with Bestselling Author Libba Bray

Meet bestselling author Libba Bray at your Humble HPB on Thursday, October 8 at 6:30 p.m. Joined by author Anna Meriano, they'll discuss Libba's latest book, Radio Free Texas, a story of love, rock n' roll, and sex (in that order) in 1980s Texas. Book signing to follow. Tickets include a copy of the book.

About Radio Free Texas

Bowie (pronounced "boo-eee") is a little bit lost in his small Texas town. As he starts his senior year, the only thing he's pretty sure of is that he has a crush on Comet Jensen, a girl who's such a firecracker that she actually sets a firecracker off on the first day of school.

Since Comet's one wrong move away from getting expelled, Bowie steps in and takes the blame for the firecracker stunt. His punishment? Community service at a local radio station run by an anti-social, anti-establishment anti-hero named Marlon. Suddenly Bowie finds he not only has something to do, but he also has something to say. And, possibly, a future with Comet.

In the tradition of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Eleanor & Park, Dazed & Confused, and The Last Picture Show, this is a funny, touching story about how coming-of-age, like love, is never a solo project.
