"I consider myself to be a detective of otherness: other
cultures, other ways of thinking, other patterns of behavior. I
am a detective of an unknown, understood in a positive way, an
unknown, with which I would like to come in contact, in order
to understand it. It is all about the question of how I can
describe reality in a new and adequate way. Sometimes this type
of writing is called non-fictional writing. I would rather call
it creative non-fictional writing."Ryszard Kapuscinski (ceremonial speaker 2003)
