Summary: Valentino Achak Deng, a Sudanese refugee, is assaulted when he allows a stranger to enter his apartment to use the phone.  As he is tied up, he has flashbacks to his escape as a "Lost Boy", walking from Sudan to Ethiopia and eventually to Kenya before resettling in America 

Additional Comments:  Dion Graham's deep voice and various impersonations for the different characters breathe life into Eggers' deeply moving story that is loosely based on the true-life experiences of Valentino Achak Deng.  Eggers presents a graphic rendering of the violence of the Sudanese Civil War and also presents a realistic portrayal of challenges that refugees as they adjust to a new life in America. What is the What is a shocking, eye-opening story about the first genocide of the 21st-century.
