Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Buzz Bissinger is the father of twin sons, Gerry and Zach. They were born three minutes apart, but during those three critical minutes, Zach’s brain was starved of oxygen and was permanently damaged.
But Bissinger’s book “Father’s Day” is neither a sad nor sappy account of being the father of a mentally impaired child.
It’s about a father trying to connect with a son who is now an adult with the mental capacity of a child, and finding a man to admire.
