New York Times Columnist & Reporter for 25 years, Author of five New York Times Best Sellers, including“Age of Grievance”, Professor of Public Policy & Journalism at Duke University 

Frank Bruni “has not written about just one thing, but seemingly about all things.” With an impressive three-decade career, including over 25 years at The New York Times, Bruni has become a nationally renowned op-ed columnist, celebrated journalist, and bestselling author. His diverse body of work includes deep dives into American politics, food, family, war, vision loss, religion, and LGBTQ issues. At the Times, Bruni served as the Rome bureau chief and White House correspondent, where he was the lead reporter covering George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign. He later penned Ambling into History, a bestseller about Bush. Bruni is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, The Age of Grievance. This book, praised by New York Times opinion columnist Bret Stephens as “the most astute diagnosis of the rage, recrimination, and revenge culture that ails our country,” also offers a hopeful prescription for redemption. Bruni’s exploration of the culture of grievance reveals its deep impact on America’s current divisive climate. Beyond his writing, he remains active as a contributing opinion writer for the Times, sharing his insights at least weekly. Additionally, Bruni serves as the Eugene C. Patterson Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University and frequently appears as a television commentator.
