Description:

What is the What

What is the What. What is the What is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a boy who becomes a refugee in war-torn South Sudan. His journey, of almost biblical proportions, brings him into contact with enemy soldiers, rebels, hyenas and lions, disease and famine, and the deadly murahaleen that now ravage Darfur. It offers a revealing and disturbing portrait of a country in a state of bloody war, and of a boy catapulted from one unreal situation to another. What is the What is controversial, exciting and repeatedly heartbreaking, an indispensable book.
