Isaac Fitzgerald, DIRTBAG, MASSACHUSETTS: A Confessional

Zibby interviews New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Isaac Fitzgerald about his gritty and humorous memoir-in-essays Dirtbag, Massachusetts: A Confessional. Isaac talks about his book’s unexpected but incredible reception across the country (thanks to indie booksellers!), his arduous, months-long writing process, and his story’s most memorable moments, like his childhood in a Catholic Worker community and the boarding school that saved him from a self-destructive path. The two also talk about their challenges with body image and how writing about them has helped others as much as it has helped them.Purchase on Bookshop.Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3GPJfTSSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
