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 Chronicle 'A remarkable book: harrowing, witty, wretched,
delightful; and always compelling, always surprising' London Review
of Books All of the author's proceeds from this book will go to the
Valentino Achak Deng Foundation. Read more at:
