![]() ![]() ![]() Radden Keefe excels in these ‘long form’ pieces, and as he says in the preface, they are ‘Substantial enough to completely immerse yourself in but short enough to finish in a sitting’ and that’s how I consumed them. From computer technicians who expose wide scale financial scandals, to International arms traffickers, a death penalty attorney who feels deeply for her clients and the apprentice creator who transformed the fortunes of Donald Trump, these pieces are incredibly readable and revealing. He considers it for a brief moment (imagine that book) before he respectfully declines, but it’s a tribute to his writing ability to capture portraits of this bunch of grifters, killlers, rebels and crooks in ‘rogues’.Īnd what a cast it is. Patrick Radden Keefe is so good at creating what’s called the ‘writearound’ - which is when he creates an article about subject who doesn’t grant an interview - that he gets an offer to ghostwrite the biography of ‘El Chapo’, the notorious Mexican drug lord. ![]()
