Mark Obama Ndesandjo is the author of the memoir Cultures: My Odyssey of Self-discovery, due to be released in 2014. It is a revealing and beautifully written memoir, in which Mark recounts his complex relationship with his older brother, President Barack Obama, including their first meeting in Kenya over twenty five years ago. The book also offers the author's inspiring personal story about identity and multiculturalism. Nairobi to Shenzhen is a semi-autobiographical novel that precedes Cultures, and is also a compelling story of adventure across three cultures. The protagonist, upon arriving in China in the wake of 911 and the onset of a terrifying global war, is forced to confront his early experiences in Kenya and the United States as a result of his growing love for a beautiful Chinese woman and a young orphan. Parallels between his own upbringing and the potential family that lies before him lead to questions about his true identity, the complexities of his multi-racial family and the relationship he had known with his father.
