In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals-the poet, the politician, the child prostitute-Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness.
A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture.įabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies-or Roma-are among the least understood people on earth.
