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.
