Gladwell spotted alone

A fan spotted Malcolm Gladwell walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 18, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Malcolm back on the market?

A rep for Malcolm Gladwell was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the author was splitting hit the internet Thursday (March 19), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Malcolm’s phone number?”
