My Take

Sorkin is the rare financial journalist I'd actually hand to someone who hates finance. Too Big to Fail turned the 2008 collapse into a human drama without dumbing the numbers down, and that translation skill is harder than it looks. What impresses me most is the range, a Times columnist, a morning-show anchor, an author, even a producer on the HBO adaptation. He could have coasted on any one of those. Instead he keeps insisting that complicated systems can be made legible to ordinary readers, and to me that stubborn clarity is the whole point of the job. He's a model of the form.
