Reporting: Writings from the New Yorker (Vintage)

by David Remnick

Reporting: Writings from the New Yorker (Vintage) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

David Remnick is a writer with a rare gift for making readers understand the hearts and minds of our public figures. Whether its the decline and fall of Mike Tyson, Al Gores struggle to move forward after his loss in the 2000 election, or Vladimir Putin dealing with Gorbachevs legacy, Remnick brings his subjects to life with extraordinary clarity and depth.

In Reporting, he gives us his best writing from the past fifteen years, ranging from American politics and culture to post-Soviet Russia to the Middle East conflict; from Tony Blair grappling with Iraq, to Philip Roth making sense of Americas past, to the rise of Hamas in Palestine. Both intimate and deeply informed by history, Reporting is an exciting and panoramic portrait of our times.

Synopsis:

From the editor of "The New Yorker" and author of Pulitzer Prize-winning "Lenin's Tomb" comes a collection of his "New Yorker" profiles from the last 15 years.
