Source: <em>Nowe Książki</em> no. 6, 1993. Published: 1993-01-01</strong></p> <p>This is a line from a poem by Ryszard Kapuściński, contained in his <em>Notebook</em>. That poem speaks more penetratingly than any of his statements or interviews about the problems bound up with his reportage prose. It is short and worth quoting in full: &ldquo;Why / did the world / flash past me / so fast / would not let itself be stopped / come closer / be addressed as thou / it rushed off / a vanishing point / in fire and smoke.&rdquo;</p>
