An interesting biographical account of one man's life from the deserts of Sudan as a child to the streets of Atlanta as an adult. The story is good and I found myself sympathizing for the writer/protagonist, but he seems a bit arrogant at times. He apparently rose to the upper crust of the subculture he belonged to you, and he gives you continuous examples of this. I'm glad I read it, though.
