Reader's guide
To provide a helpful resource for book clubs, reading groups, and anyone else reading Dave Eggers' What Is the What, we’ve compiled a handy reader’s guide for the book.

The reader’s guide contains a lot of extra materials, including: a list of names of major characters, a FAQ, information about Sudanese history, the transcript from an interview with Dave and Valentino on NPR, and excerpts from a series of articles by Dave Eggers published in The Believer in 2004, about the trip he took with Valentino back to Marial Bai during the writing of What Is the What.

Please download the PDF below, and feel free to distribute copies to the members of your book club, to your reading buddies, to your students, or to any interested readers.
