Dave Eggers What is the What is beyond extraordinary. It is a multi-storied account of what happens to people when civil war overtakes them. And somehow, against the odds, against the most inhuman opposition, humanity survives and refuses to give up.
The confusing and bewildering story of the Sudan civil struggle is told through the story of one Lost Boy’s journey which becomes almost mythic in the telling.
