Book Description
===================
From a childhood in Ivory Coast to a career as an American physician,
Habib Fanny journeys across continents, cultures and identities,
telling a few tall tales and finding his own story along the way.Sick
of living in the shadows of corrupt post-colonial Ivory Coast,
intrepid gazelle hunter Habib Fanny schemes to see the opulence of
America for himself, with naught but rudimentary raft-making skills
and his trusty spear to aid him. Well…that’s one version of the
story. In truth, Habib crosses continents, endures poverty, and
navigates the complicated systems of higher education. His journey to
become an American is beset not by lions and man-eating sharks, but
rather by persistent internal questions, which he attacks with the
same rigor he brings to his medical schooling. What does it mean to be
a Muslim, a Christian, an agnostic or, maybe, an atheist? What does it
mean to be African in America? And how on earth do you deal with the
dating scene? As he navigates the shifting waters of cultural
identity, he’s forced to confront his own prejudices-about religion,
about other marginalized communities, and ultimately about himself.
Along the way, he learns what to do when you fall into a well, why you
can’t carry a sword on campus, and how to treat a patient who thinks
you’re the cleaning staff. Habib Fanny-that’s Doctor Habib Fanny,
M.D., actually-doesn’t find gold-paved streets in America, but with
humor and curiosity, he finds a path all his own.
