Non-Fiction Memoir
Fresh out of college and passionate about photography,
Deborah Copaken Kogan moved to Paris in 1988 and began
knocking on photo agency doors, begging to be given a
photojournalism assignment. Within weeks she was on the back
of a truck in Afghanistan, the only woman—and the only
journalist—in a convoy of mujahideen, the rebel “freedom
fighters” at the time. She had traveled there with a
handsome but dangerously unpredictable Frenchman, and the
interwoven stories of their relationship and the assignment
set the pace for Shutterbabe’s six chapters, each covering a
different corner of the globe, each linked to a man in
Kogan’s life at the time. From Zimbabwe to Romania, from Russia to Haiti, Kogan takes
her readers on a heartbreaking yet surprisingly hilarious
journey through a mine-strewn decade, seamlessly blending
her personal battles—sexism, battery, life-threatening
danger—with the historical ones—wars, revolution,
unfathomable suffering—it was her job to record.
