Buzz Bissinger - Father’s Day: A Journey into the Mind and Heart of My Extraordinary Son

Buzz Bissinger (Friday Night Lights, Three Nights in August) is the father of twin boys who couldn’t be more different: Gerry is a grad student at Penn; Zach is a savant, challenged by serious intellectual deficits but blessed with rare talents. Realizing that he’s never understood what it’s like to be his son, Buzz hits the road with Zach on a trip through the best and worst parts of America and learns to see his son for what he is: a man of great character. Susan Orlean calls it “a triumph.”
