First published in The New Yorker, āSolomon tells the story of Peter Lanza, the father of Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter. Read itāitās moving, brave and just profoundly human and sad....There arenāt any answers. And thatās what makes this all so impossible, and Solomonās journalism so essentialā (Salon.com).
āBoth parents loved Adam. Neither parent imagined or wanted their childās horrific end. This is why what Peter Lanza did by sharing his story with Andrew Solomon is so important. Lanzaās story fills important gaps in our understanding of how a beloved child became a killerāand reminds us as a society that we have an obligation to help families and children before they find themselves on irreversible paths of violenceā (Time).
