David Grann to Speak at Fletcher Campus Event
Award-winning New Yorker writer, bestselling author of titles including Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager and alum of The Fletcher School David Grann F92 will return to campus to speak on Wednesday, April 2.
Revered for nonfiction that jumps off the page, Grann doesn’t just write about incredible people – he walks in their shoes. Whether crossing the ocean or trekking through the Amazon, Grann digs deep to give his stories a pace and intensity unlike any other.
His book Killers of the Flower Moon remained on the New York Times bestseller list for more than three years, and The Wager, his most recent release, has maintained a spot on the list since its release over a year ago.
Known as “the man Hollywood can’t stop reading,” Grann breathes new life into historical events, gifting his readers factually accurate tales that read like a thrilling work of fiction and that are ripe for adaptation. In addition to the Martin Scorsese-directed movie Killers of the Flower Moon, Grann has had three other works given the silver screen treatment and has two more being developed. In 2023, Barnes & Noble named Grann their inaugural Author of the Year in recognition of his impressive body of work and longtime adoration by booksellers around the country.
The event will take place from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. in ASEAN Auditorium and will be followed by a reception and book signing in the Hall of Flags. Read more here.
