David Graeber, 59, anthropologist and author of Bull***t Jobs, died on September 2 in a hospital in Venice. His publisher FSG writes, “We are deeply saddened by the news of David Graeber’s untimely death. Graeber’s path-breaking scholarship and political activism were focused on imagining new forms of human freedom. The impact of his work on our intellectual life and the progress of humanity toward a more just future has been felt across the globe.” FSG is publishing Graeber’s next book cowritten with David Wengrow, THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING: A NEW HISTORY OF HUMANITY, which is tentatively scheduled for publication in the fall of 2021.
