I'm the author of "Battle of Ink and Ice: A Sensational Tale of News Barons, North Pole Explorers, and the Making of Modern Media" (Viking, 2023). I've been a freelance journalist for nearly 20 years and have written about travel and culture for The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Paris Review, and dozens of other international publications. I'm originally from Maine and spend my time between the Catskills and NYC.

I enjoy talking with readers - for Book Clubs and 1:1s, find me now on Skolay: skolay.com/writers/darrell-hartman ...more

“The office had just two telephones. Ochs bought more, as well as several typewriters, ignoring the protests of old-timers who preferred to write in longhand and disliked the constant rattling of the newfangled contraptions.”
