ROB SHEFFIELD will discuss his latest book, Turn Around Bright Eyes, an emotional journey of hilarity and heartbreak with a karaoke soundtrack. It's a story about finding the courage to move on, clearing your throat, and letting it rip. It's a story about navigating your way through adult romance. And it's a story about how songs get tangled up in our deepest emotions, evoking memories of the past while inspiring hope for the future. The event will conclude with a reception and Karaoke party (email your requests to wh@writing.upenn.edu).
