my book mountains beyond mountains really began when i ran into dr. paul farmer by accident in haiti and my new book, "strength in what remains" began in much the same way when i met deogratis. in both cases i was interested in initially not the shoes that interested most men, but in the outlines of their lives which stqt5t to this book of mine, i don't feel entirely confident about any of my answers but i do no it is not about africa, conceived by many of us americans as one fast, dysfunctional country. i know i didn't want to make burundi seem exotic. i want to make comprehensible. we hear about mass slaughter in distant countries and we imagined murder and mayhem to find those locales. i wanted the back of my mind anyway, i hope that his story would humanize our view of burundi and also open up a part of new york that seemed designed to be invisible, the service entrances of the upper east side in the camping sites that the people make in central park. certainly, this book has to do with war and genocide and with courage and endurance, the generosity of
