One Kapuscinski is worth more than a thousand whimpering and fantasizing scribblers. His exceptional combination of journalism and art allows us to feel so close to what Kapuscinski calls the inexpressible true image of war.
Salman Rushdie"Why am I a writer? Why have I risked my life so many times, come so close to dying? Is it to report the weirdness? To earn my salary? Mine is not a vocation, it's a mission. I wouldn't subject myself to these dangers if I didn't feel that there was something overwhelmingly important--about history, about ourselves--that I felt compelled to get across. This is more than journalism."
--Ryszard Kapuscinski interview by Bill Bufford ("Granta Magazine").
