Reviews

An exceedingly subtle, richly empathetic, and methodically thoroughgoing work, Ryszard Kapuscinski succeeds in painting an engrossing portrait of a man who, as the authors claim, was protean and extraordinarily difficult to pin down. In so doing they demystify his status as a modern Herodotus - an impression that is enhanced by Lindsay Davidson's virtuoso translation. This work, offering glimpses into Kapuscinski's life in a periodization that follows the trajectories of his reportage, is a true page turner. George Gasyna, University of Illinois and author of Polish, Hybrid, and Otherwise: Exilic Discourse in Joseph Conrad and Witold Gombrowicz
