In a heartrending and astonishing novel, Eggers illuminates the annals of the civil war in Sudan through the eyes of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee now residing in the United States. We follow his life as he's driven from his home as a boy and walks, with thousands of orphans, to Ethiopia, where he finds safety — for a while. Valentino's travels, truly Biblical in scope, bring him in contact with government soldiers, janjaweed-like militias, liberation rebels, hyenas and lions, disease and starvation — and a string of unexpected romances. Ultimately, Valentino finds safety in Kenya and, just after the millennium, is finally resettled in the United States, from where this novel is narrated. On this book, written with expansive humanity and surprising humor, we come to comprehend the type of the conflicts in Sudan, the refugee experience in the us, the dreams of the Dinka people, and the task one indomitable man faces in a global collapsing around him.
