What is the What is Dave Eggers's astonishing novel about one of the world's
most brutal civil wars
Valentino Achak Deng is just a boy when conflict separates him from his family
and forces him to leave his small Sudanese village, joining thousands of other
orphans on their long, long walk to Ethiopia, where they find safety - for a
time. Along the way Valentino encounters enemy soldiers, liberation rebels and
deadly militias, hyenas and lions, disease and starvation. But there are
experiences ahead that will test his spirit in even greater ways than these . .
.
Truly epic in scope, and told with expansive humanity, deep compassion and
unexpected humour, What is the What is an eye-opening account of life amid the
madness of war and an unforgettable tale of tragedy and triumph.
'If there was ever any doubt that Dave Eggers is one of our most important
storytellers, What Is the What should put it to rest... [A] strange, beautiful
and unforgettable work' San Francisco ...
