Fingerprint

by John Sack

"An appealingly extravagant wit," The Los Angeles Times . "Sheer intellectual bliss," The Los Angeles Times . "A Passionate and erudite critique of American culture," Library Journal . One man's time capsule, lovingly gathered and carefully packed and then deliberately dropped from a great height, shattering on impact into brilliant smithereens. A tender, funny, language-drunk mix of autobiography, confession, commonplace book, humanist battlecry, it's completely wonderful," Michael Herr, author of Dispatches .

About the author

Jewish-American journalist, considered to be the founder of literary journalism.

He was a war correspondent in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Yugoslavia.

His book Eye for an eye about war crimes against the German population of the by Poland annexed part of East Germany has caused an uproar because Sack pointed out the crimes against humanity committed by jews.

Sack was accused of holocaust denial and anti-semitism by various fellow jews and jewish political organisations.
