About this listen

A seemingly unremarkable woman in her sixties stows away on dozens of flights. Inspired by a true story, THE SERIAL STOWAWAY celebrates the audacity of her tactics and the absurdity of her encounters, including a scholar of shrugging, a protester suing the CIA for implanting images in his brain, and the forgotten half of a comedy duo looking to resuscitate her career on reality TV. Comic and penetrating, this novel portrays the strength that can hide in invisibility.

Critic reviews

“I truly envy the way Robert Fromberg writes. His sentences are masterfully balanced. His narratives are constantly surprising. His latest book is terse, funny, poignant. It satirizes our profound self-involvement, celebrates random encounters, and studies the very idea of ideas. Suspending his unnoticed, unnamed protagonist in the air between absurdities and authorities, Fromberg reveals how little we hear ourselves, notice one another, or fathom the forces that give our lives meaning. A powerful, thoughtful work of art that really stays with you.” —Camden Joy, author of Boy Island
