9780143465621 674da2e202d9350024eddf64 Stringer A Reporters Journey In The Congo https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/674da2e402d9350024eddf85/71sbzqhcdml-_sy385_.jpg

Stringer is an account of a year and a half that Sundaram spent in the country working for the Associated Press. It was an intense period that would take him deep into the shadowy city of Kinshasa, the dense rainforests that still evoke Conrad's vision, and the heart of Africa's great war, culminating in the historic and violent multiparty elections of 2006. Along the way he would go on a joyride with Kinshasa's feral children, fend off its women desperate for an escape route, and travel with an Indian businessman hunting for his fortune.

Written with startling beauty and acuity, Stringer is a superb piece of reportage. It marks the debut of a breathtaking new talent.

 

Review

A commanding new writer who comes to us with the honesty, the intensity and the discerning curiosity of the young Naipaul -- Pico Iyer

A remarkable book about the lives of people in Congo. -- Jon Stewart

In lucid and searing prose, and with bracing self-awareness, Anjan Sundaram explores a country that has long been victimized by the ever-renewed greeds of the modern world. Stringer is one of those very rare books of journalism that transcend their genre-and destiny as ephemera-and become literature. -- Pankaj Mishra

Stringer is an extraordinary work of reportage. Anjan Sundaram is the Indian successor to Kapuscinski. -- Basharat Peer, author of Curfewed Night

Books by journalists usually keep the focus outward, but Sundaram has more of a novelist’s interior sensibility and a talent for describing anxiety and ennui. Readers may be tempted to compare him to Conrad and Naipaul, but he has a strong, unique style all his own. - Kirkus Reviews
