If anyone is interested in the history and an accessible, but deep understanding of black holes I highly recommend Kip Thorne’s book “Black Holes and Time Warps” (1994). The first half of this article follows a summary of that book closely.

Sergiu Klainerman: The nonlinear stability of slowly rotating Kerr black holes
The full proof of the nonlinear stability of Kerr consists of five papers, three written in collaboration with Jeremie Szeftel, one in collaboration with Elena and Jeremie Szeftel and another supporting paper authored by Dawei Shen.
In my lecture I will describe the main architecture of the proof as well as some of the most important consequences.He even wrote a book called The Science of Interstellar.
Also he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Very smart man!
