Secrets by Nuruddin Farah
Nuruddin Farah cements his name as one of the world's greatest writers with Secrets--Ishmael Reed
This wonderfully complex work, set against the backdrop of Somalia's civil war, was a Los Angeles Times Book Review Best Fiction of the Year selection. In Mogadiscio, the dictator is preparing to escape and clans are swarming into the city, which rattles with machine gun fire. Civilization is collapsing under the weight of its own perversities.Unexpectedly, Kalaman, a businessman who owns a computer store, appears.
Nuruddin Farah blends together myth and magic, shape shifters and tribal knowledge, explicit sensuality and lyrical prose as Kalaman revisits his own coming of age experience and discovers the devastating tale of his family's lost innocence among the ravages of authoritarianism in Secrets, the conclusion of his Blood in the Sun trilogy.
