David Remnick is a man much praised for his powers of observation, description and analysis, and Reporting contains his very best pieces from the last fifteen years -- so here is Remnick on Don DeLillo and Philip Roth, A.

Liebling and The Sopranos; here is Remnick writing about Solzhenitsyn returning to Russia after nearly 20 years in exile, about Vclav Havel stepping down after 13 years as the president of Czechoslovakia; here is Remnick's take on the reign of Vladimir Putin, on the failure of democracy in Mubarak's Egypt; Remnick on Katharine Graham and Mike Tyson, on Benjamin Netanyahu, and New Jersey Mob families.

Without doubt one of America's most gifted and widely read journalists, Remnick's style combines compassion, empathy, exuberance and humour, and in Reporting he brings the written word to life, describing the world with extraordinary vividness and exceptional depth.

In 1998 he became editor, succeeding Tina Brown. Remnick promoted Hendrik Hertzberg, a former Jimmy Carter speechwriter and former editor of The New Republic, to write the lead pieces in “Talk of the Town,” the magazine’s opening section. In 2005 Remnick earned $1 million for his work as the magazine’s editor.In 2003 he wrote an editorial supporting the Iraq war in the days when it started.
