Hello Mr Hochschild, my name is Jessica Wolff and I am a year 12 student studying your insightful and intense story of 'King Leopold's Ghost' in Australia. I was wondering if you could be able to assist me with a few questions for my assignment. I am using your book to construct a multimodal presentation on Leopold as an agent of change in the Congo. Firstly, what was your inspiration for writing this book? Secondly, if you were writing a second book on Leopold would their be any aspects of his life that you would or would not include? Thirdly, what was your reaction to the critics opinion of your book? Also, did you meet any of the people you included in your book?
Any information that you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I hope you can assist. Yours Sincerely,
Jessica Wolff .

Hello again, Mr Hochschild. I have another question. How do you think Leopold was portrayed in your book? Or how did you want to portray him.
