The Reckoning: Searching for Meaning with the Father of the Sandy Hook Killer

First published in The New Yorker, â€œSolomon tells the story of Peter Lanza, the father of Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter. Read itâ€”itâ€™s moving, brave and just profoundly human and sad....There arenâ€™t any answers. And thatâ€™s what makes this all so impossible, and Solomonâ€™s journalism so essentialâ€ (Salon.com).

â€œBoth parents loved Adam. Neither parent imagined or wanted their childâ€™s horrific end. This is why what Peter Lanza did by sharing his story with Andrew Solomon is so important. Lanzaâ€™s story fills important gaps in our understanding of how a beloved child became a killerâ€”and reminds us as a society that we have an obligation to help families and children before they find themselves on irreversible paths of violenceâ€ (Time).
