David Remnick is a writer with a rare gift for making readers understand
the hearts and minds of our public figures. Whether it's the decline and
fall of Mike Tyson, Al Gore's struggle to move forward after his loss in
the 2000 election, or Vladimir Putin dealing with Gorbachev's 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 America's 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.
