Synopsis "Final Draft: The Collected Work of David Carr "

A career-spanning selection of the legendary reporter David Carr's writing for the New York Times, Washington City Paper, New York Magazine, the Atlantic, and more. Throughout his 25-year career, David Carr was noted for his sharp and fearless observations, his uncanny sense of fairness and justice, and his remarkable compassion and wit. His writing was informed both by his own hardships as an addict and his intense love of the journalist's craft. His range--from media politics to national politics, from rock 'n' roll celebrities to the unknown civil servants who make our daily lives function--was broad and often timeless. Edited by his widow, Jill Rooney Carr, and with an introduction by one of the many journalists David Carr mentored, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Final Draft is a singular event in the world of writing news, an art increasingly endangered in these troubled times.

Ta-Nehisi Coates was born in Baltimore in 1975, is a writer, journalist, and American activist, known for his deep analysis of the history and African-American experience in the United States.
Son of William Paul Coates, former member of the Black Panthers and founder of Black Classic Press, and Cheryl Waters, a teacher, Coates grew up in an environment that valued literature and political awareness. He studied at Howard University, although he did not graduate, and began his journalistic career in media such as The Village Voice and Time.

Among his most influential works we find Between the World and Me (2015), written as a letter to his son, where he reflects on black identity and racial violence in the United States. This book won the National Book Award and was a Pulitzer finalist.

In addition to his work as a writer, Coates has been an editor at The Atlantic and has written comics for Marvel, including series of Black Panther and Captain America. He has received numerous awards, such as the MacArthur Fellowship in 2015 and the George Polk Award. Currently, he is a professor at Howard University, where he holds the Sterling Brown chair in the English Department.
