Patrick Radden Keefe has spent the last month touring internationally to promote his latest book, London Falling, with stops at Daunt Books Marylebone in London and the Auckland Writers Festival in New Zealand.
On On with Kara Swisher, host Kara Swisher framed the author as a master of the investigative craft, introducing him as the "award-winning journalist and author of Empire of Pain, Say Nothing, and London Falling." Radden Keefe himself kept the focus on the personal stakes of his work, noting that at the book launch, "they came over, as did Joe, Zach's brother. They were all in New York for the launch."
While Pivot hosts often dissect the intersection of power and media, Kara Swisher frequently uses her platforms to elevate Radden Keefe as the gold standard for long-form narrative. With the The Guardian now adding their own long-form interview to the mix, the consensus is clear: the industry views his transition from the Sackler saga to his latest London-based investigation as a seamless evolution of his signature "moral rot" reporting style.
