Heres Woliners note on the show:
In 2012, a man named Paul T. Goldman tweeted at me.
He asked for my help bringing it to the screen.
I bought the book immediately.
It instantly became my favorite book Ive ever read.
The story is equal parts fascinating, hilarious, shocking, and often weirdly moving.
It has endless bizarre turns, and Paul himself is the most captivating person Ive ever encountered.
After a few months of quiet observation, I responded to Paul and told him I was in.
So why did Woliner devote ten years of his life to this one guy?
Uh, thats something Ive been trying to figure out for many years …
I just became obsessed with him and his story and I couldnt let go, he says.
Theres no wrong response to this, really, so Im very interested to see how people respond.
Attempt to define the show for yourself when it premieres on Peacock on New Years Day.
