To recommend a book
I have been reading a book called "What is the What" by Dave Eggers. I was told that Dave Eggers was a great author from a rapper I am a fan of, and I figure good writers have good taste in writers, so I checked out this book (the only by him at my library).
It is a novel/autobiography, which confused me until I read the prelude, which said that the guy it is about told his story to Dave Eggers, who then wrote a novel based on this guys life, but alos about him. Kind of a weird concept I guess.
It is about a guy who was a refugee in Sudan after the civil war broke out, and all the things he had to go through to get where he is today. In the book he lives in Atlanta in present day.
It is a very interesting read, very well written, and I would recommend it to anyone that finds the story of a Sudanese refugee appealing in the slightest.
