2026 Keynote event: An Evening with Malcolm Gladwell
October 9 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Morristown Festival of Books is thrilled to announce our 2026 Keynote Speaker!
Malcolm Gladwell, author of multiple #1 New York Times bestsellers, including OUTLIERS and THE TIPPING POINT, and host of the podcast Revisionist History, will visit Morristown just days after the publication of his highly anticipated new book. Join us for an in-depth conversation about THE AMERICAN WAY OF KILLING, which gets to the heart of America’s gun violence crisis in Gladwell’s inimitable way: through a series of riveting stories. Join us for this timely and vital discussion with one of the great thinkers of our time.
Tickets are on sale now for Friday, October 9th at 7:30pm at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. Purchase online through our website or call the MPAC box office at 973-539-8008. This fundraiser event helps underwrite the remarkable free offerings of MFOB’s all-day Saturday Festival, which features the opportunity to interact with scores of authors.
