Michael Lewis Faces Backlash as New Book and Personal Tragedies Put Narrative Approach Under Scrutiny

Michael Lewis's new book "Going Infinite" about crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried comes out as Bankman-Fried goes on trial for fraud.

Lewis portrays Bankman-Fried positively, leading some to accuse Lewis of bias. Critics question Lewis's relationship with his subjects.

Football player Michael Oher, subject of Lewis's "The Blind Side," accused the Tuohy family of stealing his movie money, prompting re-examination of Lewis's narrative.

Lewis's daughter Dixie died in 2021. He worried he'd never write again but found writing characters more empathetically.

Lewis avoids fights with other writers but lately they're finding him, like over a story about Walter Isaacson's high school days.
