Omschrijving
From award-winning, bestselling author Patrick Radden Keefe, a collection of his phenomenal essays published in the New Yorker, ranging from forgery to reality TV.
Eminently bingeable, religiously fact-checked and seductively globetrotting . . . A preternaturally attentive reporter at work.
A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you’ll be turning pages for hours . . . Highly entertaining’
Keefe follows his award-winning opus with a collection of 12 pen portraits . . . that are no less compelling for being sketched on a smaller canvas.
Reflects the collective preoccupations of the unsettling era in which we now live: mass shootings and terrorism, mental health issues, and the many flavors of financial corruption . . . Keefe is a virtuoso storyteller, able to create suspense with his descriptions of how these crimes unfolded.
Each [piece] could be a book in its own right . . . [Keefe] has an eye for the smallest detail that reveals something big.
A wonderful book, not only because Keefe's prose is masterful, but because he has a preternatural gift for reading people.
Extraordinary
One of the finest non-fiction writers of his generation
A king of contemporary nonfiction
Iconic . . . Keefe delivers masterpieces
I read everything he writes. Every time he writes a book, I read it. Every time he writes an article, I read it . . . he’s a national treasure.
