  • Ep. 155 The Age of Grievance
    Jun 20 2024

    Frank Bruni discusses his new book, "The Age of Grievance."

    ---

    Frank Bruni is a distinguished journalist and celebrated author. He talks with Judith Kelley about his latest book, "The Age of Grievance," which explores the cultural and political impacts of Americans’ fixation on grievances: “More and more Americans are convinced that they’re losing because somebody else is winning. More and more tally their slights, measure their misfortune, and assign particular people responsibility for it. The blame game has become the country’s most popular sport and victimhood its most fashionable garb.”

    Bruni is the Eugene C. Patterson Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke.
