  • VAD: It is very close to the truth, but many things in the book are somewhat different than what happened in life. Some characters have been combined. Some time is compressed. They are minor things, but they were necessary. For one thing, I was very young when the book begins, so I could not remember conversations and small details from my early childhood in Marial Bai. It was necessary to reconstruct the chronology, and that is what Dave did. He took the basic facts and then created the story from there.

      He states that he didn't make What is the What a biography because he couldn't remember all the tiny details on the way. Because some of the characters were combined and the time was compressed. Could this give him a 'slack' or possibly an excuse to exaggerate a bit in some parts of the story?

  • He was a young boy when Arab raiders ransacked his village, killed the men, and bound Dang and his mother to a camel.
  • They were then dragged away from their home in southern Sudan to a life of slavery.
  • "They let me sleep with goats," Dang told CBN News.

  • Drunk and abusive, his slave master often beat him. Once, as punishment, he had chili peppers rubbed into his eyes, causing him to go blind.
  • Experts say there's really no concrete estimate on the number of slaves in Sudan. They blame the absence of data on a lack of concern in the international community.
  • CSI rescued Deng and brought him to the United States, where doctors recently operated on his eyes. It's unclear how much of his sight he may regain.
  • "The offspring of those women who are enslaved when they're raped by their masters or their master's sons will become Muslim. They have no choice," Eibner explained.

    This is the story of an 18 year old boy telling his story of how he and his mother were taken as slaves. It is very brief but has some horrifc points.
