TRACY KIDDER - STRENGTH IN WHAT REMAINS
With an anthropologist's eye and a novelist's pen, Pulitzer Prize–winning Kidder (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
recounts the story of Deo, the Burundian former medical student turned
American émigré at the center of this strikingly vivid story. T...old in
flashbacks from Deo's 2006 return visit to Burundi to mid-1990s New
York and the Burundi of childhood memory and young adulthood—as the
Rwandan genocide spilled across the border following the same inflamed
ethnic divisions—then picking up in 2003, when author and subject first
meet, Deo's experience is conveyed with a remarkable depth of vision
and feeling. Kidder renders his subject with deep yet unfussy fidelity
and the conflict with detail and nuance. While the book might recall
Dave Eggers's novelized version of a real-life Sudanese refugee's
experience in What Is the What, reading this book hardly covers
old ground, but enables one to walk in the footsteps of its singular
subject and see worlds new and old afresh. This profoundly gripping,
hopeful and crucial testament is a work of the utmost skill, sympathy
and moral clarity.Read More
