Synopsis

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. J. Liebling and The Sopranos; here is Remnick writing about Solzhenitsyn returning to Russia after nearly 20 years in exile, about Vaclav 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.

Media Reviews
This collection of articles by David Remnick can stand as literature. . . . He treats the reader as an informed, intelligent equal.
-- The New York Times Book Review
Each piece is worth reading. From the first word of the preface to the last word of the final feature story, Reporting is captivating.
-- The Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
A pleasure to read. The [essays] are intelligent and serious, but they're also perceptive and funny. Remnick mixes literature, politics and history and then tries to bring them all together into a meaningful whole.
-- Los Angeles Times
The arrangement of pieces is so natural, and so symphonic, it's hard to recollect their discrete appearances: It seems as though Reporting is less an amalgamation of individual articles than it is a previously serialized volume at long last published whole.
