With this memoir-in-essays, Fitzgerald traces a traumatic upbringing that included struggling with homelessness in Boston, making his way to San Francisco, and eventually ending up in Burma. That, however, has changed with the release of his latest book, Dirtbag, Massachusetts: A Confessional. Despite years of storytelling, however, the best-selling author had yet to reveal his true self, warts and all, for the world to read. Isaac Fitzgerald has been in and around the literary scene for many years, telling both his own stories and heralding the stories of others in print and even on The Today Show. ![]()
