Product Information
New York Times Notable Book New York Times Bestseller What Is the What is the epic novel based on the life of Valentino Achak Deng who, along with thousands of other children --the so-called Lost Boys--was forced to leave his village in Sudan at the age of seven and trek hundreds of miles by foot, pursued by militias, government bombers, and wild animals, crossing the deserts of three countries to find freedom. When he finally is resettled in the United States, he finds a life full of promise, but also heartache and myriad new challenges. Moving, suspenseful, and unexpectedly funny, What Is the What is an astonishing novel that illuminates the lives of millions through one extraordinary man.

It is impossible to read this book and not be humbled, enlightened, transformed." -- Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner " Dave Eggers has made the outlines of the tragedy in East Africa . . . not only sharp and clear but indelible. An eloquent testimony to the power of storytelling, What Is the What is an extraordinary work of witness, and of art." -- "The New York Times Book Review" " Eggers' s limpid prose gives Valentino an unaffected, compelling voice and makes his narrative by turns harrowing, funny, bleak and lyrical. The result is a horrific account of the Sudanese tragedy, but also an emblematic saga of modernity- of the search for home and self in a world of unending upheaval." -- "Publishers Weekly" " [What Is the What] sings like a novel- a novel in which every phrase falls with exquisite, revealing precision and the themes of the story play out as satisfyingly as in a large-scale symphony." -- "Seattle Times" " A work of significant strengths, What Is the What is not only a valuable cultural document, it' s also an engaging and often compelling read. Eggers has crafted a novel notable for its writing as well as its historical relevance." -- "The Globe and Mail" " Hands down, Dave Eggers' What Is the What stands as the single most thought-provoking, unusual and moving book I have read all year." -- "USA Today", New York Times Notable Book * NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST "[An] Astonishing story ... of immerse power, emotion and even, in the midst of horror, beauty." --Salman Rushdie "Told with humor, humanity, and bottomless compassion for his subject. . . .
