"I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it."

| |  | | | In Brief
The book is not about Africa, says Polish foreign correspondent Kapuscinski, in fact Africa does not exist except as a geographical appellation. Rather he writes about some people from there, about encounters with them and time spent together off and on over for some four decades since his first visit in 1957. It is a personal memoir without scholarly paraphernalia. No information is provided about Glowczewska.

| | | | From The Publisher
Ryszard Kapuscinski arrived in Africa in 1957, at the beginning of the end of colonial rule––the “sometimes dramatic and painful, sometimes enjoyable and jubilant” rebirth of a continent. The Shadow of the Sun sums up the author’s experiences (“the record of a forty-year marriage”) in this place that became the central obsession of his remarkable career.
