Published: Sept. 14, 2022, 2:53 p.m.

Evan Osnos is a staff writer for\xa0The New Yorker. His new book is\xa0Wildland: The Making of America\u2019s Fury.\n\u201cI'm always trying to get inside a subculture. That's the thing that I think has been the most enduring, attractive element for me. Is there a world that has its own manners and vocabulary and internal rhythms and status structure? And who looks down on whom? And why? And who venerates whom? Who's a big deal in these worlds? And if I can get into that, it doesn't even really matter to me that much what the subculture is. I'm fascinated by trying to map that thing out.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@eosnos\n\nevanosnos.com\n\nOsnos on Longform\n\nOsnos\u2019s\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n00:00\xa0The Making of America\u2019s Fury\xa0(Farrar, Straus and Giroux \u2022 2021)\n\n02:00\xa0"Life After White Collar Crime"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Aug 2021)\n\n03:00\xa0"Doomsday Prep for the Super-Rich"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jan 2017)\n\n05:00\xa0Osnos\u2019s\xa0Chicago Tribune\xa0archive\n\n\n19:00\xa0"The Boxing Rebellion"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jan 2008)\n\n24:00\xa0"Born Red"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Apr 2015)\n\n34:00\xa0"Wastepaper Queen"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Mar 2009)\n\n38:00\xa0"The Grand Tour"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Apr 2011)\n\n46:00\xa0"Welcome to the United States: The Shutdown Edition"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Oct 2013)\n\n49:00\xa0"The Haves and Have-Yachts"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jul 2022)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
