Neil King in Conversation with Maureen Dowd: American Ramble

May 2, 2023


Join renowned journalist and former Wall Street Journal editor Neil King with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Maureen Dowd on King’s fascinating new book, American Ramble. Part travelogue, part history, part memoir, and part meditation on time and landscape, American Ramble is the chronicle of Neil King’s 330-mile walk from Washington, DC, to New York City in 2021 — through historic battlefields and cemeteries, over the Mason-Dixon line, past Quaker and Amish farms, along Valley Forge stream beds, and finally to the Ramble, where a tangle of pathways converges in Central Park. At a time of disunity, American Ramble reveals the profound power of our shared national ground. Hear King and Dowd discuss the inspiration for the trip, stories that didn’t make it into the book, and more.
