Ebook: Ryszard Kapuściński: Biography of a Writer

Ryszard Kapuściński’s life, work, reception, and legacy, through his literary reportage.

In the first posthumous monograph on Ryszard Kapuściński’s life and work, Beata Nowacka and Zygmunt Ziątek confront the mixed reception of the writer’s use of the Polish concept of literary reportage, located on the border between journalism and artistic prose, and identify this tension as the driving force behind Kapuściński’s legacy.
