Join us at Pegasus Books Downtown at 6:30pm on Tuesday, March 17th for a reading and author talk with novelist Brian Trapp, in conversation with beloved Oakland author Tomas Moniz.
We'll be hearing from and discussing Trapp's new novel, Range of Motion - a tender, wrenching, and comic novel that follows two twin boys from infancy to the cusp of adulthood. It's about the secret language of siblings and the resilience of special needs families. Copies of the book will be available for signing at the event. See you there!
