HYDE PARK — Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s brother, Robert, will visit the Seminary Cooperative Bookstore to talk about getting embroiled in his brother’s scandal.

Blagojevich will talk 2 p.m. Sunday at the bookstore, 5751 S. Woodlawn Ave., about "Fundraiser A: My Fight for Freedom and Justice,” his memoir on his involvement in his brother’s scheme to sell Barack Obama’s senate seat.

Blagojevich is one of the few criminal defendants to be pursued by the Department of Justice and escape a conviction. His book talks about the inside workings of his trial and his relationship with his brother as the trial progressed.

The event is free and open to the public.
