Produktbeschreibung
Failing the eighth grade was his ticket out, launching him from the quiet coffee origin land of Ethiopia, onto a chaotic, pilgrimage toward the glittering promised land of Saudi Arabia. Musa's journey is a hilarious, nauseating blur of terrifying sea voyages, bizarre Arab hospitality, and the kind of bad luck that only precedes a divine intervention.

Musa's world is upended when, in the third year of his meager mosque-cleaning job in Mecca, he wins the Zakat Lottery-a jackpot of impossible, unsolicited cash delivered anonymously during Ramadan. Overnight, the broke migrant returns home as "Sheikh Flous" (Sheikh Money), a legendary figure whose bottomless wallet attracts a celebrity entourage and fuels two wildly ludicrous theories about the source of his infinite wealth: was he an Oil Baron who struck crude with his butt, or the world's first "Coffee-Born Prince," the illegitimate son of a Saudi King and an Ethiopian coffee brewer?

This story charts Musa's dizzying ascent to accidental wealth, his glorious reign of non-stop gossip and personal monologues as well as legendary generosity, and his swift, painful descent back to reality. It is a cautionary, often laugh-out-loud tale proving that eternal fortune is just as fleeting as a good rumor.
