Critically acclaimed New Yorker contributor Alec Wilkinson's sixth major work of non-fiction and his most charming subject yet- eccentric hero Poppa Neutrino.
Alec Wilkinson has been a writer at The New Yorker since 1980. Before that he was a policeman in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and before that he was a rock and roll musician. He lives with his wife and son in New York City.
Strange, wonderful, funny, weird, and totally engaging - and, like
all of Wilkinson's work, simply beautiful
*Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief*
It's not often that a person as inspiring and deeply outrageous as
Poppa Neutrino is described by an author as immensely gifted as
Wilkinson. Here is a life in the largest, most courageous sense of
the word, a life that most of us - if we're honest - will feel a
pang of regret at not having lived
*Sebastian Junger, author of A Perfect Storm*
A marvellous raft of a book in which we float along listening to an
amiable Christian hobo and champion bullshitter expound on the
inexplicable... A masterpiece
*Garrison Keillor*
[A] masterpiece of joy...[a] vivid, precise and jubilant testament,
which will fill his readers with a great and unexpected
happiness
*Edward Hirsch*
A hauntingly beautiful biography... an elegy to the strange wonder
of the stories he [Neutrino] had to tell
*Guardian*
