In Man in the Mirror, award-winning reporter and bestselling author Anand Giridharadas renders this deadly encounter and its aftermath as a propulsive crime story that opens onto a larger human drama: the search for belonging in an age of estrangement.Inhabiting the perspectives of an unforgettable cast of characters, Giridharadas immerses us in the places where this story plays out, from the corridors of power in City Hall to subway benches where New Yorkers spend the night, from a Marine Corps base to a Harlem church in mourning—and, ultimately, to a courtroom where a riveting battle unfolds. In his painstakingly reported, richly novelistic narrative, these characters’ strivings and struggles—to care for loved ones and strangers, to protect the public, to seek justice—reveal the humanity behind the headlines. Through one character’s eyes and then another’s, Giridharadas presents a chapter of American history too often reduced to divisive clickbait as something far more complex and full of life.At once panoramic in its scope and finely detailed in its emotional immediacy, Man in the Mirror is a tour de force of narrative reporting and an indispensable portrait of our times. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/summerland/godmothers-gather-anand-giridharadas/100001999311125396 - **Event Categories**: art, performances, theatre, literary-art, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Summerland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Godmothers - **lat**: 34.4220021 - **long**: -119.6004446 - **full address**: Godmothers, 2280 Lillie Avenue, Summerland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Godmothers Gather: Anand Giridharadas - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Godmothers+Gather%3A+Anand+Giridharadas&date=Sat%2C+03+Oct%2C+2026+at+06%3A00+pm&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Godmothers Gather: Anand Giridharadas being held? - **A:** Godmothers Gather: Anand Giridharadas takes place on Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Godmothers, 2280 Lillie Avenue, Summerland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Godmothers Gather: Anand Giridharadas? - **A:** Godmothers Gather: Anand Giridharadas is organized by Godmothers. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
