"Lively, detailed, and filled with humanity and wit. Her tour of good writing [is] a wonderful journalism handbook, memoir, and addition to books on the New Yorker." --Booklist

For half a century, Lillian Ross has been writing remarkable and timeless journalism for The New Yorker. Her spirited, funny, factual short stories in The Talk of the Town and her unforgettable profiles have won her a legion of admirers. Reporting Back: Notes on Journalism reprints some of her best-loved pieces, and some new ones, along with her own commentary. A primer on good writing, a tribute to the art of journalism, Reporting Back is not only a casebook for writing, it is the unforgettable record of Lillian Ross's joy in the pursuit of excellence in reporting.
