In Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle, and Belonging in an American City, Anand Giridharadas details the deadly 2023 encounter between Jordan Neely, a homeless man, and Daniel Penny, an ex-Marine, on a New York City subway car. He also reports on the aftermath as a propulsive crime story that opens onto a larger human drama: the search for belonging in an age of estrangement.
