Slow and steady
March 9th, 2008
It’s taken me forever, but I’ve finally finished What Is The What?, which I started last year. It took me some time to get going on the book due to the rhythm - it tells two stories about the same person, one in the present tense and one through memories (his current life in America and his youth in Africa). I had difficulty getting involved in the two stories, but once I got going, I enjoyed it and finished it up. I’m glad I read it. There have been criticisms of the fictional nature of the stories, but that doesn’t really matter to me.
Read about Valentino Achak Deng (the subject of the book) and his foundation on his website.
