My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

This was utterly bizarre. I knew nothing about it or the author and didn't read the forward, thankfully. It's vaguely Pynchonan coming of age story about a young boy who is separated from his mother and brother when a warring faction comes to his African town. He escapes into the bush and enters the Bush of Ghosts. From there, I can honestly say I had no idea what the next page would bring.
