David Grann, the best-selling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder, addressed graduates at BU's 2024 Commencement ceremony.
In his speech, Grann told graduates that their journeys will not necessarily take them where they expect now, and quite often the opposite. His speech, often interrupted by laughter, told of his own twisty journey and a turning point while reporting for a New Yorker magazine story about the efforts by a giant squid hunter to capture one of the ocean’s most elusive creatures.
“Often the most rewarding moments of our quests are the ones born of seeming setbacks, the ones that opened our eyes to new possibilities and led to triumphant ends we could not fathom.”
