Description
An extraordinary chronicle of youth that evokes the paradoxes of modern Africacomplex, contradictory, and full of conflict, tragedy, and joy.
Patrice Nganang, the acclaimed author of Dog Days, Mount Pleasant, and, most recently, A Trail of Crab Tracks, which was a 2022 New Yorker Book of the Year, writes about his vibrant, animated youth in Cameroon, a period of upheaval and change in the countrys history and in his life.
Scale Boy is a memoir that brings great brightness and joy to the tumultuous years of discovering oneself and ones community; though there are moments of danger and confusion in his story, Nganang aims to present a new vision of a young Black African mans coming-of-age.
