If a spacecraft were being sent out to make literary contact with the inhabitants of a distant galaxy and there were room for only one contemporary writer, Dyer would vote for Ryszard Kapuściński. He is the one who has given the truest, most comprehensive and most vivid account of what life on this planet actually looks like.
