520 "Writing from a homeless shelter in downtown Toronto,
Mohamed "Mo" Ali chronicles how he ended up there in this
powerful and often irreverent memoir of exile, addiction,
and racism. Kidnapped by his father on the eve of
Somalia's societal implosion, Ali was taken first to the
Netherlands by his stepmother, and then on to Canada. With
its promise of freedom, opportunity, and multiculturalism,
his new home seemed to offer a new lease on life. But
unable to fit in, he turned to partying and drugs.
Interwoven with world history and sociopolitical
commentary on Somalia, Canada, and Europe, the story of
this gay Muslim immigrant is told with tenderness in a
refreshing and welcome new voice. Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali
lives in Toronto. This is his first book."--|cProvided by
