“Nestles comfortably on a bar stool beside writers like Kerouac, Bukowski, Richard Price, and Pete Hamill.” —The New York Times
In his life, Isaac Fitzgerald has been a firefighter, worked on a boat, and was once given a sword by a king, thereby accomplishing three out of five of his childhood goals. He is an author, cultural critic, and commentator on a variety of news platforms.
Isaac is the New York Times bestselling author of Dirtbag, Massachusetts (winner of a New England Book Award). He is also the author of the bestselling children’s book How to Be a Pirate as well as the co-author of Pen & Ink: Tattoos and the Stories Behind Them and Knives & Ink: Chefs and the Stories Behind Their Tattoos (winner of an IACP Award). His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Esquire, The Guardian, The Best American Nonrequired Reading, and numerous other publications.
Isaac is a former co-owner of The Rumpus, where he edited early work by authors we now consider household names, such as Roxane Gay and Cheryl Strayed. Formerly of BuzzFeed Books and BuzzFeed News’ Twitter morning show #AMtoDM, Isaac also appears frequently on The Today Show. He lives in Brooklyn and is currently working on his next book, American Dionysus, forthcoming from Knopf.
Kevin Says
"Isaac might be my brother from another mother! More importantly, his writing has helped me navigate my own experiences with Toxic Masculinity and has made me feel less alone in this chaotic world."
