About this listen

Fifteen year old Guy is highly intelligent, well-informed, passionate about language and skilled technically. He is also profoundly dyslexic, shy and awkward. When he is enrolled in a mainstream Zimbabwean boarding school, Guy keeps a tape-recorded diary of his progress (or lack of it) through the system with humor, emotional acuity and cynicism that would surprise those who see him failing to meet either the academic or disciplinary expectations of his teachers, or the social expectations of his peers.

Guy arrives at various conclusions about himself and the ways he can and cannot function academically and socially and takes control of his own fate.
