Early life and education
He was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Norman Harold Horwitz, a neurosurgeon,[5] and Elinor Lander Horwitz, a writer. Horwitz was an alumnus of Sidwell Friends School, in Washington, D.C. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa as a history major from Brown University and received a master's degree at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
Writing career
Horwitz won a 1994 James Aronson Award and the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for his stories about working conditions in low-wage America published in The Wall Street Journal. He also worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker and as a foreign correspondent covering conflicts in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.[6]
He documented his venture into e-publishing and reaching best-seller status in that venue in an opinion article for The New York Times.[7]
In 2019 he began writing and lecturing for the Gertrude Polk Brown Lecture Series at The Filson Historical Society. His book Spying on the South: An Odyssey Across the American Divide focuses on the early New York Times journalist and correspondent Frederick Law Olmsted's travels through the South.[8]
He was a fellow at the Radcliffe College Center of Advanced Study and a past president of the Society of American Historians, which in 2020 established the Tony Horwitz Prize honoring distinguished work in American history of wide appeal and enduring public significance.[9][10]
Personal life
Horwitz married the Australian writer Geraldine Brooks in France in 1984.[11] They had two children.
On May 27, 2019, Horwitz collapsed while walking in Washington, D.C. He was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where he was declared dead; the cause was cardiac arrest.[12] He was in the midst of a book tour for Spying on the South.[13]
