Landscapes of War
This is an antipode of Kapuściński. The Polish master found poetry in the ruins of the human condition. Goytisolo builds brick and mortar monuments chieseled with proing questions. This collection of dispatches scans a series of eruptions in the 1990s all concerning Muslims: Bosnia, Occupied Palestine, Algeria and Chechnya. The Sarajevo section is the most emotional, the least constructed.
Goytisolo concludes the survey with a challenging parallel; he diagnoses the misteps Spain undertook in the 15tth through 19th Centuries. He then compares this to a recent history of North Africa and the Middle east. Despite being published in book form in 2000, the insights are rather precisent, especially given the events in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria.
