For your reading pleasure and/or a different kind of event, please consider the following:

King of Doubt, a multiple award-winning memoir, by Peter Gibb, Brown ’64, is coming to the SF Bay Area in May. Peter will be doing a "performance reading" (that's part theatre, part dramatic reading, and all fun) in bookstores, senior centers, libraries and churches around the greater Bay Area.

Since it’s public release in February, readers and reviewers have been wildly enthusiastic about King of Doubt (which includes chapters that take place at Brown in the early 60’s.) “Beautifully written, suspenseful and brave …”    “An unforgettable journey of self-discovery. With the soul of a poet and the rich language of an artist …”  “A poignant journey around the world that ends in a satisfying cascade of redemption.”  “Best memoir I ever read.” Read more on Gibb's web site http://petergibb.org or on the King of Doubt page at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/King-Doubt-Peter-Gibb/dp/1627874453. The book is available on all the usual e-platforms, as well as in paperback.

"If you join me for one of these events,” says Gibb, "I promise you something different from the typical author reading. Come for a good laugh, maybe even the hint of a tear, and stay for the always lively, stimulating discussion. If you feel so inclined, please pass this invitation on to family and friends, or - better yet - bring them along –but not until you warn them to be prepared for a good time with a twist of surprise!"

Hoping to see you soon.  Any questions, email: peter@petergibb.org.
