Mark Obama Ndesandjo, the less-political half-brother of United States president Barack Obama, has written a novel, Nairobi to Shenzhen, described as a “semi-autobiographical meditation on multiculturalism and love”.

Nairobi to Shenzhen tells the touching tale of a man confronting his emotions as he starts a new life in China, which leads him to look back on his multi-racial background and the relationship with his father. The author lives in Shenzhen, southern China.
