Pulitzer Prize winner Heather Ann Thompson discusses her new book, Fear and Fury.
About this Event

In this masterful, groundbreaking work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson shines surprising new light on an infamous 1984 New York subway shooting that would unveil simmering racial resentments and would lead, in unexpected ways, to a fractured future and a new era of rage and violence.

Join us on Thursday, March 5, as we welcome historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson to discuss her book, Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage (Penguin Random House, 2/2026).

Heather will be in-conversation with Jess Denke, Community Engagement Librarian, Teaching Librarian to the Social Sciences, Head of Library DEI Initiatives at Muhlenberg College.

Only books purchased through The End Bookstore are eligible to be signed.
