Bill Geist--the beloved, award-winning, long-time special
correspondent for "CBS: Sunday Morning," whose debut Little
League Confidential was a New York Times bestseller in
hardcover and paper--and Willie Geist, the Today Show host,
popular member of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and author of the
best-selling American Freak Show--have begun an extended
conversation between father and son on areas of mutual
interest, agreement, and disagreement. Told in a unique back-and-forth banter style, the hilarious
father-son team will laugh together at the shared journey of
their relationship. They'll riff on fatherhood, religion,
music, sports, summer camp disasters, driving lessons gone
horribly wrong, being on TV, and their wonderfully odd
family life. Think Big Russ and Me (May 2010, 345,829 net
per bookscan) meets S*** My Dad Says, with humorous
observations about professional wrestling as a worldview,
raising a kid with television cameras in the kitchen, and
anything and everything else that comes to their witty minds. The Geists decided to write this book so their children and
grandchildren would have a record of their unusual
father-son relationship. The book is remarkably funny, as
well as poignant and sincere, especially in light of Bill's
announcement that he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's. With
its lighthearted look at the crazy things fathers and sons
go through and the unique bond those experiences forge, the
book is sure to be a must-have gift for Father's Day.
