The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
Shadow of the Sun2024 Oct 30
Linked is a book review of Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski's notes on his travel around Africa in the 1950's and 60's, Shadow of the Sun. The review, by Matt Lakeman, is fascinating on its own because Lakeman took Kapuscinski's notes and then went and traveled to many of the same places, albeit half a century later, and his blog is full of his own responses to that travel. But regardless of that, understanding Africa is among the things which hold my interest, and based on this review, I've added the book to my reading list (but have not yet read it).
