Buzz Bissinger's twins were born three minutes--and a world--apart.
Gerry, the older one, is a graduate student preparing to become a
teacher. His brother Zach is a savant, challenged by serious
intellectual deficits but also blessed with rare talents: an
astonishing memory, a dazzling knack for navigation, and a
reflexive honesty that can make him both socially awkward and
surprisingly wise.
One summer, striving to understand the twenty-four-year-old son who
remains, in many ways, a mystery, Buzz convinces Zach to join him
on a cross-country road trip. As father and son drive from
Philadelphia to Los Angeles, revisiting all the places they have
lived together, Buzz learns to see the world through Zach's eyes.
"Father's Day "is a powerful account of this journey, and a
universal tale of the bond between parents and children.
"Grade: A . . . Gorgeous." -- "Entertainment Weekly"
"Blunt, tender, sometimes harrowing, and always affecting, Father's
Day is a triumph." -- Susan Orlean, author of "Rin Tin Tin" and
"The Orchid Thief"
