On her deathbed, David Dobbs's mom Evelyn Jane unveiled a secret she'd stored for 60 years about the man she got truly treasured, and lost. His name was Norman "Angus" Zahrt, a committed World War II flight plastic surgeon with whom she'd engaged in a magic formula love affair, just before he deployed to the Pacific and disappeared. Intrigued by his mother's invisible longing, Dobbs embarked on a reporter's goal to discover Zahrt's fate, and this of his family. The storyline he went back with is an extraordinary tale of love, battle, and how exactly we confront the lost chances inside our lives. David Dobbs writes features and essays for magazines including the Atlantic, the New York Times Publication, National Geographic, Wired, the Guardian. Many of his experiences have been chosen for leading science anthologies; lately, his much-discussed feature for the Atlantic, "The Orchid Children," for Ecco/HarperPerennial's Best North american Research Writing 2010. He's now writing his fourth publication, The Orchid and the Dandelion (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), which explores the genetics of temperament-and the idea that the genes underlying some of our most difficult traits and habits also generate some of our greatest advantages and accomplishments.
