Story
Why is Miami… Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of gripping stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering

Patterns and What They Reveal.
Reviewed: 01-01-25
A fan of Malcolm Gladwell’s books and writing style, Revenge of the Tipping Point did not disappoint. Taking disparate stories and weaving them into a common theme is intriguing and intellectual stimulating. Not only did I gain insight into how epidemics bloom but I have a framework for exploring other events that grow and spread rapidly.

Story
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his acclaimed novel about North Korea, The Orphan Master’s Son, Adam Johnson is one of America’s most provocative and powerful authors. Critics have compared him to Kurt Vonnegut, David Mitchell, and George Saunders, but Johnson’s new book will only further his reputation as one of our most original writers. Subtly surreal, darkly comic, both hilarious and heartbreaking, Fortune Smiles is a major collection of stories that gives voice to the perspectives we don’t often hear, while offering something rare in fiction: a new way of looking at the world.

I love Simon's heroic mundane soul. He has to find his inner core and pull it to the surface to navigate during difficult times. He is a great model for all those who think they are not enough in this world.
