Winter Writers Reading Series: Robert Fromberg

Robert Fromberg’s books include the award-winning memoir How to Walk with Steve, about caring for his autistic brother; the Edna Ferber Fiction Book Award–winning novel Gee, That Was Fun: 7 Days of Mayhem, 1983; and the new novel The Serial Stowaway.

A product of Peoria, Illinois, Fromberg moved at age 16 to New York City’s Lower East Side, where he spent his nights at CBGB, after which he obtained a degree from the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers and taught writing for seventeen years at Northwestern University. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

We are excited to again partner with Mineral Point’s independent bookstore for our 2026 reading series. Unless noted, readings will be held at Republic of Letters Books, 151 High St., Mineral Point.
