What is the What

This is the story of a man who, as a boy, was separated from his family in Sudan’s brutal civil war; who survived aerial bombardment and attacks by militias and wild animals; who ate whatever he could find or nothing at all; who, as a boy considered ending his life to end the suffering; and who eventually made it to America, where a new and equally challenging journey began. His name is Valentino Achak Deng, and in this novel Dave Eggers tells the extraordinary true story of his incredible journey.
