A biographical novel traces the story of Valentino Achak Deng, who as a boy was separated from his family when his village in southern Sudan was attacked, and became one of the estimated 17,000 "lost boys of Sudan" before relocating from a Kenyan refugee camp to Atlanta in 2001.
Narrada amb la prosa neta i contagiosa de Dave Eggers, Què és el Què segueix l'experiència d'un personatge real, Valentino Achak Deng, un dels 4.000 nens perduts de la guerra civil del Sudan que van trobar un nou camp de batalla, més quotidià i una mica menys cruent, als Estats Units, per obra i gràcia del govern nord-americà. La història, ja fora d'un llibre que és una successió d'esdeveniments terribles, té un final feliç. "La fundació creada amb els guanys d'aquesta novel.la està construint una escola al sud del Sudan. Valentino s'ha casat i està a punt de tenir un fill".

"They can come in different shapes and guises, but always wars come in increments. I am convinced there are steps, and that once these events are set into motion, they are virtually impossible to reverse."
"I speak to these people, and I speak to you because I cannot help it. It gives me strength, almost unbelievable strength, to know that you are there. I covet your eyes, your ears, the collapsible space between us. How blessed are we to have each other? I am alive and you are alive so we must fill the air with our words. I will fill today, tomorrow, every day until I am taken back to God. I will tell stories to people who listen and to people who don't want to listen, to people who seek me out and to those who run."
