Why people recommend it
Late Admissions by Glenn C. Loury is a candid and deeply personal memoir detailing the intellectual evolution and tumultuous personal life of the prominent Black conservative economist. The book received high praise and enthusiastic recommendations from major podcast hosts. Megyn Kelly strongly urged her audience to purchase and read the memoir during an interview with the author on The Megyn Kelly Show, describing Loury as a treasure and marveling at the startling and unfiltered nature of his confessions. Similarly, Stephen Dubner recommended the memoir in the closing remarks of an episode of Freakonomics Radio, calling it one of the most interesting and unusual books he had encountered in a considerable time. Throughout the interview segments, Kelly and Loury discussed the motivations behind writing such a revealing autobiography at age seventy-five, exploring complex themes regarding personal accountability, public controversy, academic life, and the candid exposure of private deeds and misdeeds that challenge conventional expectations of an economist's life story.
