From New York Times bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell comes his most urgent book yet: a provocative investigation of America’s epidemic of gun violence. In The American Way of Killing, Gladwell explores the American “peculiarity”—how the world’s wealthiest country came to suffer from a problem typically only seen in the world’s poorest countries.
Drawing on original interviews, archival and social science research, and his trademark insight, Gladwell approaches the American paradox through a series of stories. In a sweeping narrative that travels across the United States, Gladwell paints a picture of a country that does not understand its most pressing social problem, and as result, does not understand how to fix it. A member of the Order of Canada and one of TIME’s 100 most influential people, Gladwell is widely recognized as one of our leading thinkers today. Moderator TBA. Books will be for sale at the event from Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books.
