Critics at Large: Crazy for Crime

Journalists, politicians, authors and newsmakers from around the world come together at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival to take a hard look at the people, policy and events that shape our lives.

Critics at Large: Crazy for Crime

Season 1 Episode 5 | 28m 2s | CC

Patrick Radden Keefe, author of books like “Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Family” and “Say Nothing: A True Story of Memory and Murder in Northern Ireland,” has made a career of telling nuanced stories about unconscionable acts. The New Yorker staff talk to Keefe about writing.
