Frank Bruni in Conversation with Bret Stephens: The Age of Grievance

Jun 13, 2024


Join New York Times columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni on the new politics of resentment — and Bruni’s new book, The Age of Grievance.

What happens when all sorts of grievances — the greater ones, the lesser ones, the authentic, the invented — are jumbled together? When our political disagreements are reduced to grievance and revenge? In his new book, Frank Bruni argues that the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, the rejection of the results of the 2020 election, the flourishing of conspiracy theories, and many other elements of our contemporary political culture are rooted in grievance — a potentially devastating erosion of the civility, common ground, and compromise necessary for our democracy to survive. How did we get here? What does it say about us, and where does it leave us? How has grievance come to define our current culture and politics, on both the right and left? Hear him for a frank analysis of our politics as he examines these critical questions and charts a new path forward.
