Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing, New copy in original shrink-wrapping w/wrap-around sleeve featuring critical raves for Eggers & his subject. "WHAT IS THE WHAT is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee of the Sudanese civil war. Fleeing from his village in the mid-1980s, Deng becomes one of the so-called Lost Boys---children pursued by militias, government soldiers, lions & hyenas & myriad diseases, in their search for sanctuary, first in Ethiopia & then Kenya. Eventually Deng is resettled in the United States with almost 4,000 other young Sudanese men, & a very different struggle begins." Issued jacketless, in orange boards, this pristine package is quite presentable. Seller Inventory # RUB271
