Isaac Fitzgerald has lived many lives. He's been an altar boy, a bartender, a fat kid, a smuggler, a biker, a prince of New England. But before all that, he was a bomb that exploded his parents' lives-or so he was told. In his memoir Dirtbag, Massachusetts, Fitzgerald (with warmth and humor) recounts his ongoing search for forgiveness, a more far-reaching vision of masculinity, and a more expansive definition of family and self. This discussion will be moderated by Daniel Ford, host of The Writer's Bone Podcast.
