Rezension zu „Rawlence, B: Radio Congo “
"A distressing but important read." - "Kirkus Reviews""Intrepid and undaunted by hazards that would send most journalists scurrying back to the bar of their hotel, Ben Rawlence gets far deeper into the life of this war-torn country than most."--Adam Hochschild, author of "King Leopold's Ghost""Lucid, laconic, and elegantly written."--Michela Wrong, author of "In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz""Gripping... Rawlence gets under Congo's skin... He makes a self-effacing guide with a necessary sense of the ridiculous, an eye for the telling detail and a talent for evocative description. But it is his closeness to the Congolese that really stands out."--"The Times" (London)""Radio Congo" is an unexpected broadcast of hope... This is a much-needed to a misunderstood country--and a welcome glimpse of sunshine."--"Prospect" magazine"Intimate and entertaining portraits."--"The Economist""Rawlence writes in a lyrical style, whether he's introducing us to some of the eccentric characters he meets along the way or... the scenes he encounters, both harsh and beautiful."--"We Love This Book""A compelling debut."--"The Bookseller"
