Although Cooke became a US citizen in 1941, critics of his book may regard it as a vintage case of the white male journalist as anthropologist explaining weird and wonderful foreigners to the homeland. Such a conceit is deeply unfashionable at a moment that seeks to empower people and cultures to tell their own stories.

But it is an effort to try and talk humorously about how odd I was, but also how we are all a bit odd. We’re all so much more complicated than we seem and we should avoid blaming each other in the things we do and just be more aware of each other’s humanity.” Robert DeNiro arrives at court to testify against his former assistant who accused him of sexual harassment and bullyingEXCLUSIVE - Pictured: Pregnant woman who was crushed and seriously injured by Rottweiler that fell out of a third-floor window
