In \u003ci\u003eMan in the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInhabiting 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once panoramic in its scope and finely detailed in its emotional immediacy, \u003ci\u003eMan in the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force of narrative reporting and an indispensable portrait of our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anand Giridharadas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593802014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANAND GIRIDHARADAS is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Persuaders, Winners Take All, The True American, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIndia Calling.\u003c\/i\u003e A former foreign correspondent and columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e for more than a decade, he has also written for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, The Atlantic, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTime, \u003c\/i\u003e and is the publisher of the newsletter \u003ci\u003eThe.Ink.\u003c\/i\u003e He is an on-air political analyst for MS NOW.
