Where I heard about it
- Replies to @SpencrGreenberg — named in the replies to his question “What non-fiction book taught you the most about how the world (or how humanity or society) really works?”, June 2025. The full set of replies lives on A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet).
Connections
- Africa — The subject.
- Journalism — The practice — and the thing critics dispute about him.
- Narrative — Kapuściński’s method.
- A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet) — the thread this recommendation came from.
