Passage of Tears cleverly mixes many genres and forms of
writing--spy novel, political thriller, diary (replete with
childhood memories), travel notebook, legends, parables,
incantations, and prayers. Djibril's reminiscences provide a sense
of Djibouti's past and its people, while a satire of Muslim
fundamentalism is unwittingly delivered through the other
Djiboutian voice. Waberi's inventive parody is a lesson in
tolerance, while his poetic observations reveal his love and
concern for his homeland.
