Malcolm Gladwell appears at Atlanta Symphony Hall tonight, Monday October 12, at 7:30 p.m. Georgia Public Broadcasting and A Cappella Books are presenting a conversation with GPB host Peter Biello about Gladwell’s new book, The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic.
The subject is difficult, but the appeal is a live conversation with a storyteller who specializes in challenging assumptions. Rather than another article about a distant crisis, this is a specific local event where you can hear an argument, test it against questions and decide whether the book is worth reading.
The organizer explicitly says VIP tickets are sold out. That does not establish that ordinary tickets are gone; check the current booking page. Plan for Midtown parking and the 7:30 start if you choose to attend.
What to do: Decide this afternoon whether the topic earns your evening. If it does, check regular ticket inventory and make the reservation; if not, bookmark the book rather than adding another obligation.
