Join award-winning New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe for a conversation on his newest book, “London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth,” a fascinating investigation into the death of 19-year-old Zac Brettler, who had been living a dangerous double life unbeknownst to his family. With Keefe’s usual bravura feat of reporting and brilliant writing, the book is also an intimate and deeply poignant inquiry into the nature of parental love and the challenges of being a parent today. Here & Now senior managing editor Todd Mundt moderates.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and Keefe will sign following the conversation.
