Garret Keizer
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my work. I’m the author of six books, the most recent of which is The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want. I am also a contributing editor of Harper’s Magazine and a freelance writer and lecturer. Much of my writing has to do with matters of politics, religion, and justice. Right now I am at work on a book about privacy.
