In this presentation, editor Joel Allegretti along with book contributors George Guida, Stephen Massimilla, Michael Palma, Patricia Polak, Maria Terrone, John J. Trause, and Angelo Verga will read their work.

“Rabbit Ears shows how TV memories can be fun and smart. Many remembrances and feelings from our past are brought back in an entertaining way that transports us to a place we may have thought was lost.”—Francis X. Comerford, NBCUniversal
