Riassunto

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.
