"What is the What" by Dave Eggers

The Free Library of Philadelphia had this title as One Book Philadelphia in 2008 and published a fantastic Resource Guide. Besides the discussion questions, I found the Timeline: A Recent History of Sudan and the map on pages 6-8 especially of interest. You may also like to check the Valentino Achak Deng Foundation website. Here you will find information on the book and Sudan as well as the Foundation.
