What the Dog Saw

And Other Adventures

Malcolm Gladwell · 2009

Hair dye, ketchup, and the man who could calm any dog: the New Yorker pieces Gladwell wanted kept.

A collection of Gladwell’s New Yorker pieces, chosen for their questions rather than their subjects. He writes about the man who invented the infomercial, why supermarkets carry dozens of mustards but only one ketchup, what a dog trainer notices that owners miss, and why intelligence failures look obvious only in hindsight. The connecting thread is his appetite for small puzzles that turn out to be about something much larger.
