USA Today has an interesting article in today's paper about Wally Lamb's friendship with a bipolar man named David Fitzpatrick. It's an inspiring story of a 20 year friendship and how the successful author helped the mentally ill man find his voice. Mr. Fitzpatrick's first novel, Sharp, arrives in book stores today. Pick up today's paper to read the article or go to USA Today's website, click the "life" section and then "books" to find the article.
