Who This Author Is
Will Ferguson turns a long-distance drive across Rwanda into a sharp, observant travel narrative in Road trip Rwanda. He mixes roadside encounters, local history and candid humor to chart a country still reshaping itself, keeping the focus on ordinary people and unexpected moments rather than grand political summaries.
Ferguson’s voice is conversational and unsparing: curious about what he sees, quick with a wry aside, and willing to sit with complexity. Road trip Rwanda unfolds as both a personal journey and a series of intimate sketches, offering readers a ground-level view of place and change through close attention.
