Being Henry: The Fonz . . . and Beyond
by
In our increasingly divided culture, it’s nice to find one thing we can all agree on: The Fonz is, was, and shall forever be cool. This bedrock wisdom provides the unshakable foundation of Henry Winkler’s delightful memoir, which reveals the actor’s keen eye, big heart, and formidable writing chops. Sometimes the good guys finish first, after all.
