Father’s Day

“I loved this unflinching, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant tale of disability and difference, and what it means to be a father, a son, and a man.”—Jennifer Weiner, author of Then Came You and Fly Away Home

“Buzz Bissinger’s memoir — a paean to his remarkable son — is tender, funny, frightening at moments when love is re-stated; even brave — which memoiristic writing rarely gets the chance to be. It also reads as unflinchingly true, which should give it a long and useful life in the reader’s heart.”—Richard Ford

“Bissinger has the great writer’s gift of showing us we are not alone. Here he explores the religion all parents share: that our children’s essential goodness will somehow grant them safe passage through a rough world. What a book! Every parent should read it.”—Chris Matthews, host of Hardball and author of Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero

“Blunt, tender, sometimes harrowing, and always affecting, Father’s Day is a triumph. Bissinger unfurls the whole fabric of love and pride and heartbreak and salvation that makes a family, with an honesty that will make you gasp.”—Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and The Orchid Thief
