How did I miss this? Dave Eggers, author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, has just come out with a new book, What Is the What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng (@ Amazon). "This book... is the novelized autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng, from his pre-war life in Marial Bai (a trading center in south-central Sudan), to his resettlement in the United States." Looks like I found the perfect accompaniment for Nordic Choir tour in January.

Jake, I would love to read this book! It looks so interesting. I checked out the blog and site with more info…very interesting. You are so thoughtful Jake. I love people who try to widen their views and get rid of their blinders.
