Response to Adrew Rice: The Passanger
When reading Kapuscinski, the hardest thing to analize is his character inside and outside of his books. Your point of view of Kapuscinski resembles very much to mine. "He is everywhere, behind and between the front lines, and yet no one ever seems to notice him." Kapuscinski was a risk taker, he wanted to be everywhere covering every situation but who noticed him? He was completely unoticed and it seemed to me no one ever worried about him. "He made himself invisible, in other words: a secret agent. And yet, insinuating as he was, it's hard to imagine a correspondent less likely to make a successful spy. one ever seems to notice him." I cite your words because after reading your article I thought they were perfect to describe Kapuscinski. Eventhough, this writer is difficult to decipher either inside of his books as a character or outside as a writter, The Soccer War is an excellent narration about what is happening in the world at that time.
