How Fast Can You Run

This novel begins with the second Sudanese Civil War. It is based on the experience of the main character, Michael Majok Kuch, who I met as part of a One Book One Philadelphia Writing Project conceived by Marie Field of the Free Library of Philadelphia. The book is based on real historical events.While many of the events capture Michael's experience exactly as he told them to me over a two-year period, some time sequences were altered to make the narrative arc more compelling. In order to respect the privacy of the people in Michael's life, some of the characters are changed. All the names are fictitious except for Michael's and his mother's.
