]]> Comment on Poland: Ryszard Kapuściński - Fiction or ‘Non-Fiction'? by Laura Vidal http://globalvoicesonline.org/2010/03/09/poland-ryszard-kapuscinski-fiction-or-non-fiction/comment-page-1/#comment-1815710 Laura Vidal Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:49:48 +0000 http://globalvoicesonline.org/?p=127087#comment-1815710 I guess it has to do with humanizing a figure we prefer to see as super-natural. The almost funny thing is that we love to look and to find out to know as much as posible about our heroes, and then we become disappointed when they don't meet our expectations... I might be repeating a lot of people with this, but I feel that regardless of the tone of the biography, the works of RK, and even more, the mentality and the spirit behind them are far more powerful than if he went to brothels or if the books were fiction or non fiction. Kapuscinksi has been one of my most beloved writers/thinkers for years. Realizing his humanity and that of those around him confirms that we are capable of a lot more than we think. Great post!
