Anjan Sundaram

Anjan Sundaram Author and journalist. Sundaram's first book Stringer: A Reporter's Journey in the Congo, a coming of age memoir that explores the neglect of the world's deadliest war in Congo, earned him comparisons to Ryszard Kapuściński and V. S. Naipaul.[4][5] Stringer was featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, who called the book "remarkable". It was also a Royal African Society book of the year and a BBC book of the week. A feature of Sundaram's writing is his immersion in a place and his portrayals of what it feels like to be there.[7][8][9] In 2015 a jury of journalists awarded him the annual Frontline Club prize for his war reporting from the Central African Republic. He received a Reuters environmental journalism prize in 2006 for his reporting from the Democratic Republic of Congo
