My name is David Remnick

Since taking the helm of The New Yorker in 1998, Remnick has returned the magazine to its profitable glory days. The magazine has since won 21 National Magazine Awards. A graduate of Princeton University, Remnick began his journalistic career as a night police reporter at the Washington Post in 1982, becoming the paper’s Moscow correspondent in 1988. His coverage of the Soviet Union’s collapse led to his Pulitzer Prize-winning 1993 book Lenin’s tomb. Remnick has written four other books, including King of the World, his 1998 portrait of Muhammad Ali, and 1997’s Resurrection, an exploration of post-Soviet Russia. His book, Reporting, is a compilation of his reported pieces for The New Yorker. Remnick lives in New York with his wife, Esther Fein, and their three children.
