Not many people can say they are from a country that no longer exists. Yet that is not the most extraordinary thing about Louis Chude-Sokeiâs memoir Floating in a Most Peculiar Way .

What do you love most about your book?
I love that I was able to fit so much life into such a compact space while still being true to all that I couldn’t keep in. With a memoir, you want to be true to the experiences you are conveying, but at the same time you want your particular vision as a writer to come through. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that those things could still occur after cutting so much out.
