Isaac Fitzgerald & Jerry Stahl With Jonathan Ames: A Conversation
Isaac Fitzgerald has lived many lives: altar boy, bartender, fat kid, smuggler, biker, and prince of New England. In Dirtbag, Massachusetts: A Confessional, he recounts his ongoing search for forgiveness, a more far-reaching vision of masculinity, and a more expansive definition of family and self – while embracing the idea that one can be generous to oneself by being generous to others. In Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man’s Tale of Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust, Jerry Stahl chronicles his two-week trip across Poland and Germany with stops at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau. He takes us from gang polkas to tour rash to Auschwitz’s truly disturbing snack bar. It’s a raw, surreal, and redemptively hilarious trip. Moderating is Jonathan Ames, author of The Wheel of Doll: A Novel.
