Is it safe to say that the Gladwell bar is low and the Lewis bar is lower?
They are both fantastic story tellers.
Sadly, these stories more of than not seem to be creatively spun fiction (to be polite) more than anything else.
- tptacek 4y agoI feel like Gladwell is saved by keeping most of his analysis confined to bland, abstract, business-friendly topics, while Lewis does something much more akin to traditional reporting. They are both frequently and flagrantly wrong, but Lewis's wrongness is more consequential. Also, Gladwell is a better writer.
