Jim Yardley

I write about Italy, the Vatican, Spain, Portugal and Greece. I spent 10 years reporting from China, India, Taiwan, Nepal and Bangladesh before moving to Rome. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the George Polk Award, the Gerald Loeb Award. Author of "Brave Dragons," a look at the US-China relationship through the unlikely prism of basketball. I live in Rome with my wife, Theo, and our three kids. Still struggling to pick up Italian but working at it.
