Malcolm Gladwell returns to examine one of America’s deadliest and most polarizing issues: gun violence. In his new book, The American Way of Killing, Gladwell investigates the paradox of a country with immense wealth that still has staggeringly high violence rates, uncovering fascinating origins, revealing stories, and, ultimately, hope for the future.
Gladwell has become one of the world’s most influential thinkers through his insightful analyses of complex, urgent topics. His books, including Outliers and The Tipping Point, have expanded conversations around everything from criminal justice to human consciousness, earning him the description “a singular talent” from The New York Times Book Review.
Join Gladwell in conversation with journalist and UC Berkeley professor Lisa Armstrong (The Intercept, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker) as he unpacks the political history behind America’s gun violence epidemic and offers a hopeful vision for where the country goes from here.
