Patrick Radden Keefe

It's a special thrill to get to discuss your own work in a setting like this with a writer you really admire. Thanks to @sathnam.bsky.social, and to all who came out.

@praddenkeefe.bsky.social You made it on Jeopardy! Congratulations

Very excited to learn that London Falling has been shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford, along with some extraordinary nonfiction books.

Munich! This is tonight.

Thanks for including LONDON FALLING by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social and STOLEN REVOLUTION by @yjtorbati.bsky.social and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin: www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

As a big fan of the gorgeous special editions of the Folio Society, I'm so delighted that they've added my book SAY NOTHING to the collection. It's available today, beautifully illustrated, with an introduction by the great Paul Muldoon. @foliosociety.bsky.social www.foliosociety.com/usa/say-noth...

Very sad to learn of the death of Frances Stoner Saunders, whose extraordinary book Who Paid the Piper was a big touchstone for my podcast Wind of Change. They're reissuing the book this year. Seek it out. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

I always look forward to the Baillie Gifford nominations because the prize spotlights so much great nonfiction, so it's a thrill to see London Falling on this year's longlist, alongside my brilliant colleague Anand Gopal and so many other fantastic books. 🙏 🙏 www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

Really looking forward to this. Come if you can!

"I dedicated “London Falling” to my parents because it’s very much a book about parents and children, so I thought a lot about my own parents as I was writing it, and about my children — the vagaries of raising a child." @praddenkeefe.bsky.social on LONDON FALLING. www.linkedin.com/pulse/patric...

Read this new one by Rachel Aviv. It is astonishing, one of the best magazine stories I've read in a long time. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Sept. 3 I'll be appearing in East Hampton with my longtime New Yorker editor Daniel Zalewski and our wonderful colleague Susan Morrison to talk about Susan's book "Lorne," my book "London Falling" and all things New Yorker. If you're in that neck of the woods for Labor Day, come! Tix below.

If you’re looking for a long book to read that contains hundreds of pages of interesting material to keep you enthralled, Vann R. Newkirk II recommends “London Falling.” See The Atlantic’s full summer reading guide: theatln.tc/aOo6jjjn

The crazy story of a couple of old con men, the teen that got mixed up with them and the family that mourned him. A really good read. @praddenkeefe.bsky.social

@praddenkeefe.bsky.social This is in your wheelhouse! First book event of the fall in NYC! Thursday, September 17th at 7pm. Please share the Info and link— I am so thrilled to be joining IrishArtsCenter as part of their 2026-27 season! Tickets are on sale- irishartscenter.org/event/forest...

Sometimes I like to match up my reading with my location. Other times I tear through @praddenkeefe.bsky.social’s latest, the phenomenal LONDON FALLING, in a place about as far from oligarchs and violence and urban intrigue as you can get:

Rachelle & Matthew Brettler speak to The Times.

I’m delighted to be talking to @praddenkeefe.bsky.social on Monday of next week at the @shhomeplace.bsky.social about London Falling, his exceptional book about the love of money. seamusheaneyhome.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

In this week's 1 on 1, @praddenkeefe.bsky.social joins Harry to unravel the mysterious death at the center of his new book—and how oligarch wealth, corrupt systems, and Trump-style excess are reshaping both London and America. Link: youtu.be/gXspEQ53nLM

This book is one of the most incredible I have ever read. #LondonFalling is gripping, scary and at times unbelievable. I will never see London the same way again. Emily Maitlis is right, this story will stay with me a long time. Incredible writing from @praddenkeefe.bsky.social

Enormous congrats to my wonderful colleague Ava Kofman, who just won a National Magazine Award for this tremendous piece. If you haven't read it, now's your chance: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I took a stroll around Riverwalk and chatted about LONDON FALLING and the dilemmas of this kind of writing with the excellent @basialc.bsky.social, and am very grateful for the thoughtful piece which came out of it: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

"You might find yourself willing to forego scrolling, eating, or sleeping to race to its end." -Vann R. Newkirk on LONDON FALLING by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0... via @theatlantic.com

Edinburgh! This is a week from tonight.

London! This is next week.

This is how the United States Department of Justice writes now.

LONDON FALLING by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social is one of @nytimes.com best books of 2026 (so far): www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...

In London Falling, Patrick Radden Keefe “comes about as close as possible to resolving” the problems of the true crime genre. “For all its formal satisfactions [the book] is scrupulously humane.” —@mrkocnnll.bsky.social

“Reads like a nonfiction social novel, capturing something vital about a city that, for all its cultural energy and beauty, can feel as though it has ice in its veins.” Thank you, @markoconnell.bsky.social! @nybooks.com on LONDON FALLING by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Just finished reading @praddenkeefe.bsky.social’s WILD New Yorker article about a group of people in New Orleans who staged *dozens* of car-into-18-wheeler accidents for money. They were real collisions. Gonna be thinking about this one for a while. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

For the @newyorker.com Radio Hour, I spoke with David Remnick about LONDON FALLING, and for this segment we included some audio from recorded conversations the Brettlers had with Akbar Shamji and the gangster known as "Indian Dave." www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...

For @praddenkeefe.bsky.social, one of the best writers on corruption, the current moment provides an extraordinary bounty. Here, he focuses on a glut of car accidents involving big rigs around New Orleans. Guest editor Kit Chellel's top pick: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

😂🙏 Will cook for you any time.

Gobsmacked. Thanks to the incredible team at @doubledaybooks.bsky.social, to booksellers (who are, no joke, keeping literacy alive) and to everyone who has read the book already or has it on reserve at the library or just thinks they might check it out eventually when they get around to it. 🙏🙏🙏

What a fun night in San Francisco. My interlocutor Isaac Chotiner may have been going easy on me.

This is the craziest shit I have read in a loooooong time.
