Buzz Bissinger | Father's Day: A Journey into the Mind and Heart of My Extraordinary Son
Recorded 5/16/2012
Listen to MP3 audio
(This podcast contains explicit content.) Philadelphia's own Buzz Bissinger is the author of the bestselling nonfiction classic on high school football, Friday Night Lights, which was turned into a successful film as well as an NBC television series. A former reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Bissinger has won the Pulitzer Prize and the Livingston Award, and his other books include A Prayer for the City and Three Nights in August. Father’s Day is the true story of a father's journey across the country with his savant son, Zach, to revisit their shared history. Born with serious intellectual deficits and three minutes—and a world—apart from his twin brother, Zach's rare talents and the unique, sturdy logic of his worldview bestow a new wisdom on his father Buzz's understanding of character and intellect.
In conversation with Jennifer Weiner
