True Stories of Death and Desperation: Steve Braunias

One survivor chooses loneliness. One chooses exile. One chooses oblivion. Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately. Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an eye. In The Survivors: True Stories of Death and Desperation, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias retells twelve compelling mysteries of human nature – unusual stories of how people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires, impulses… and failings. He joins Philip Matthews in conversation.
