CHASING HOPE A Reporter's Life

Journalist Nicholas Kristof delivers his monumental memoir--by turns harrowing (think gunfire, rats, Darfur) and inspiring (he mentors young journalists, starts a nonprofit, and champions rural America). A practiced public speaker, Kristof sounds thoughtful as he covers his long and distinguished career. He's worked four decades as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and, indelibly, an opinion writer for THE NEW YORK TIMES. He's traveled to danger zones ranging from the Congo to Ukraine, reported from Tiananmen Square in China, witnessed and chronicled the Arab Spring, and is among the few to cover the struggles of rural Americans. He comes from Yamhill, Oregon, and has revamped his family's farm with wine grapes and cider apples. A compelling and satisfying audiobook.
