Bok av Dave Eggers
New York Times Notable Book New York Times BestsellerWhat Is the What is the epic novel based on the life of Valentino Achak Deng who, along with thousands of other children ?the so-called Lost Boys?was forced to leave his village in Sudan at the age of seven and trek hundreds of miles by foot, pursued by militias, government bombers, and wild animals, crossing the deserts of three countries to find freedom. When he finally is resettled in the United States, he finds a life full of promise, but also heartache and myriad new challenges. Moving, suspenseful, and unexpectedly funny, What Is the What is an astonishing novel that illuminates the lives of millions through one extraordinary man.
Jättebra bok om Sudan och Sydsudan. Jag hade ingen aning om hur folk hade det där innan de tvingades fly. Och framförallt det som stannar med en är själva flykten. Det är som ett äventyr men helt utan leendet man brukar ha på läpparna när något spännande händer. I verkligheten är det inte spännande när barn råkar illa ut.
