Biography

New Yorker writer and bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Lost City of Z, David Grann doesn't just write about incredible people - he walks in their shoes. Whether crossing the ocean or trekking through the Amazon, Grann digs deep to give his stories and pace and intensity unlike any other. In his talks, Grann explores his creative process - from what initially inspires him to investigate a story to his painstaking research and then links the (often) forgotten histories to their relevance to today.
