Book title: The Mayor of Mogadishu: A Story of Chaos and Redemption in the Ruins of SomaliaBy FAITH ONEYAMore by this AuthorThe Mayor of Mogadishu leaves no room for prejudices. According to the author, Somalia’s capital Mogadishu has a name that seems forbidding. The author interestingly points out that Tarzan’s former title, Mayor of Mogadishu, was also once used by opponents of then Somalia president Siad Barre, to mock him. SEAMLESS PROSEThe book is, in a way, autobiographical, as it offers glimpses of the author’s life in Africa but this is in the sub-text. Harding has worked as a foreign correspondent for the past 25 years, and took a break to write this book.
