| | This may be because of his view that the short wire dispatches and reports he originally sent out did not do justice to reality. | | | The Soccer War's first sentence is: "I am living on a raft in a side-street in the merchant district of Accra." By choosing to use "I" as the first word of his book, Kapuscinski places himself in the "involved" stance from the start. | | | Historically his writing is factual, which would support the claim that it is journalism. |
