The Jive Talker

Writes of a childhood in a country few are able to pinpoint on a map. As the family moves from feast to real poverty and deprivation, and back to plenty again, depending on their father's professional fortunes, this memoir introduces life in a country in which no dissent is tolerated, and where political opponents are 'disappeared'.
