The Shadow of the Sun by Ryszard Kapuściński

4.0

This book is a series of interesting vignettes about the author's experiences in various countries in Africa, from the 1960s through the early 2000s (I think). I wish he wouldn't talk to much about "African" ways of life or ways of thinking, since Africa is full of different cultures, but perhaps in all his years as a foreign correspondent he saw some common threads. I need to read more books by actual African people, though.
