All our names : a novel
Mengestu, Dinaw, 1978-
All our names : a novel / by Dinaw Mengestu - First edition. - New York : Alfred A. Knopf , 2014 - 255 p. ; 25 cm.
Unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart -- one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. Mengestu gives us a political novel that is also a transfixing portrait of love and grace, of self-determination and the names we are given and the names we earn.
