Jeffrey Gettleman is the East Africa Bureau Chief for the New York Times and the author of Love, Africa: A Memoir of Romance, War, and Survival.\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not an adventure-seeking adrenaline junky. I like to explore new worlds, but I\u2019m not one of these chain-smoking, hard-drinking, partying types that just wants thrills all the time. And unfortunately that\u2019s an aspect of the job. And as I get older and I\u2019ve been through more and more, the question gets louder. Which is: Why do you keep doing this? Because you feel like you only have so many points, and eventually the points are going to run out.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, V by Viacom, 2U, and Kindle for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@gettleman\nGettleman on Longform\n[01:15] Gettleman\u2019s Archive at The New York Times\n[01:30] Gettleman\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning work\n[01:30] Love, Africa: A Memoir of Romance, War, and Survival (Harper \u2022 2017)\n[08:30] Tampa Bay Times (Previously St. Petersburg Times)\n[11:30] Fan Club\n[12:30] The Front Row\n[18:00] "Into the Heart of Falluja" (New York Times Magazine \u2022 May 2004)\n[22:00] "The World\u2019s Worst War" (New York Times \u2022 Dec 2012)\n[30:00] "Rape Epidemic Raises Trauma of Congo War" (New York Times \u2022 Oct 2007)\n[30:30] "Elephants Dying in Epic Frenzy as Ivory Fuels Wars and Profits" (New York Times \u2022 Sep 2012)\n[35:45] Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad \u2022 Dover Publications \u2022 1990)\n[38:45] "Ominous Signs, Then a Cruel Attack" (New York Times \u2022 Sep 2013)\n[45:45] "Jeffrey Gettleman\u2019s World of War" (Jack Shafer \u2022 Slate \u2022 Mar 2009)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
