The Passenger by Andrew Rice

Dear Andrew Rice,

I agree with you on most of the things you wrote about Kapuscinski's work. It is probably true that Kapuscinski did not do most the things he says he does.However, i do believe he was in most of the wars he talks about in The Soccer War. Your point is totally valid,I do not think Kapuscinski is the hero or the inmortal person he shows to be. Its impossible that nothing ever happened to him, while facing the most chaotic situations in the world.It is also important to know that Kapuscinski also writes cruel things that happen to him. For example, when they get him in the road blocks and beat him up. However,this is only one situation compared to a thousand others that he "survived without any help." You also talked about family, love, and sexual desires. I believe The Soccer War is not about this topics. I believe it is about the wars and his point of view while being in the different countries. I likes your article and it helped me realize or see Kapuscinski from another perspective wich I never thought of.
Sicerely,
Mariana Gutierrez
