About the author
David Grann is an American journalist and staff writer at The New Yorker whose narrative nonfiction reconstructs crimes, expeditions, disputed evidence, and historical events through archival research and reporting.
The Lost City of Z, Killers of the Flower Moon, and The Wager each examine the stories people create around danger and power. The Wager follows shipwrecked British sailors and the competing testimony they brought home.
Where to start
Start with The Wager for maritime survival and mutiny, or Killers of the Flower Moon for Grann’s investigation of the Osage murders.
