Legendary Reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski Accused Of ‘Fiction-Writing’

In an unparalleled career, Ryszard Kapuscinski transformed the humble job of reporting into a literary art, chronicling the wars, coups and bloody revolutions that shook Africa and Latin America in the 1960s and 70s. But a new book claims that … [he] repeatedly crossed the boundary between reportage and fiction-writing – or, to put it less politely, made stuff up.”
