Nobody Leaves: Impressions of Poland by Ryszard Kapuściński, William R. Brand

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

Kapuściński lives up to his hype as Polands most well regarded journalist. Whereas Western journalism is so deterministic, he has a way of writing that arcs around the indents people leave behind, the impression of the way things move and feel. I love that this selection focuses on Polish life, although I will say that sometimes I feel he is missing context on certain aspects of peasant Polish life. They are still masterful, even more so for how true and realistic they are while contending against Soviet censorship. An icon ❤️
