I, Eric Ngalle is a unique account of a global concern. a true story, engaging and often brutally funny and disarmingly honest: it is one man’s journey and an examination of some of the truths and dangers of illegal migration in a globalised world. It is also a story of redemption, hope and ultimately the very real concerns of a shared world.

I, Eric Ngalle is an exploration of memory and trauma… it takes guts to tell all in this way… in these xenophobic times, when migrants and refugees are pilloried or vilified it is a useful corrective to read a story such as this, to appreciate the inner steel and simple survival skills necessary to make such journeys. Eric Ngalle says that Wales gave him back his name, his voice and his identity. In turn, he now works with other refugees helping them find their voices and redact their own stories… quintessential tales of our age, when war, oppression and poverty dispossess so many. In finding sanctuary migrants such as Ngalle also enrich society, as he has proved by his many contributions to Welsh cultural and civic life.’ Jon Gower, Nation.Cymru
