In this brilliant collection of profiles, many of which first appeared in "The New Yorker", the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Lenin's Tomb" spotlights subjects that range from Mario Cuomo to Dennis Rodman, Ralph Ellison to Ben Bradlee. What emerges is at once a gallery of fascinating characters and a human mosaic of ambition, recklessness, failure, and redemption.

From the publisher

Readers know from his now classic Lenin's Tomb that Remnick is a superb portraitist who can bring his subjects to life and reveal them in such surprising ways as to justify comparison to Dickens, Balzac, or Proust. In this collection, Remnick's gift for character is sharper than ever, whether he writes about Gary Hart stumbling through life after Donna Rice or Mario Cuomo, who now presides over a Saturday morning radio talk show, fielding questions from crackpots, or about Michael Jordan's awesome return to the Chicago Bulls -- or Reggie Jackson's last times at bat.

Remnick's portraits of such disparate characters as Alger Hiss and Ralph Ellison, Richard Nixon and Elaine Pagels, Gerry Adams and Marion Barry are unified by this extraordinary ability to create a living character, so that the pieces in this book, taken together, constitute a splendid pageant of the representative characters of our time.
