George F. Will Speaks His Mind

For almost half a century, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and columnist George F. Will has provoked, amused, illuminated, and infuriated readers with no-holds-barred commentary on issues as far ranging as the state of the American judiciary to baseball. 

Now, drawing on his new book American Happiness and Discontents: The Unruly Torrent, 2008-2020, he examines a remarkably unsettling 13 years in our nation’s history. Leavened by Will’s signature wit, this collection brings clarity to a time marked by cultural change and unrest. He casts a careful eye on what defines the American experience as he explores an array of topics including drug policy and the criminal justice system; the First Amendment; meritocracy and education; Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and The Beach Boys; and, yes, the morality of enjoying football.

He will be interviewed by Steven V. Roberts, Shapiro Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University.
