power... An unforgettable, fiercely comic, and finally
compassionate book."
—Salman Rushdie
"Kapuscinski transcends the limitations of journalism and writes
with the narrative power of a Conrad or Kipling or Orwell."
—Blake Morrison
"A Stunning exhibit; the interviewed subjects. . .enunciate their
memories of the days of Haile Selassie with a magical elegance
that. . .achieves poetry and aphorism."
