analyticali 's review for:
The Garbage King
by Elizabeth Laird
I might describe this book as charming if I didn't live in Addis. Instead, it's given me a fresh perspective on all the levels of poverty in Ethiopia. Addis is a world with many many tiers, and while nothing is zoned (and cows meander down my street) people can live simultaneously in completely different worlds. It's a thoughtful and insightful book by an outsider who clearly loves Ethiopia. Best of all (compared to plenty of serious Africa books that I find myself reading) it has a happy ending.
