Reading your article made my opinion the same as yours in some way. Kapuscinski is an author that shoes his reality and what he is living in a way in which he makes himself a character. ‘’ He is everywhere, behind and between the front lines, and yet no one ever seems to notice him. At a recent tribute to Kapuscinski's life and work, held as part of a PEN literary festival, Salman Rushdie repeated the journalist's maxim for survival:’’ This part is true, he is everywhere and in my opinion he does his job really well done and passes as someone normal. ‘’ Kapuscinski describes, he evokes, but for all the unquestionable beauty of his words, he doesn't produce actionable intelligence.’’ Im not sure what you meant saying this, but what is seems is that he did not do the things intelligent enough. I think that this is something no one should say because he didi a good job, he risked his life and reported as much as he could. In a part that you say, I think that is Kapusinski would of written in The Soccer War more political facts, it would not be a ‘’novel’’ but it would be more like a political report and not something so interesting to read.
In another part, I don’t mind Kapusinski not being in Colombia an just being in some parts of Latin Americda. Sometimes he did talk about places he was not there with so much property that he did not know what he was talking about because he did not live it. Apart from what I am saying I cannot say much because this is the only book I have read about him.
