He influenced scores of Fairchild journalists over the years. “His writing and editing combined brilliance, tenacity, wit and clarity, usually delivered with an undercurrent of wicked irreverence. “Tom was a wonderful writer and a unique journalist with an immense knowledge of culture, history and literature,” said Ed Nardoza, editor in chief of WWD. Moran became a Tennessee Williams Fellow, professor of creative writing and writer-in-residence at Sewanee University in 2000. “The Man in the Box” won the Book-of-the-Month Club’s Stephen Crane Award for First Fiction.
He later left journalism to become a novelist, writing five books, “The Man in the Box” (1997), “The World I Made for Her” (1998), “Water, Carry Me” (2000), “What Harry Saw”(2002) and “Anja the Liar” (2003), all published by Riverhead/Penguin. At W, he helped convert the magazine from a bimonthy broadsheet to a monthly glossy.
