I wouldn't recommend any. The guy writes about Somalis and their practice of bestiality. And I don't think his works are compatible with the teachings of Islam.

I read 'From a Crooked Rib' when I was younger, it was pretty good. I just couldnt get my head around the idea that someone could be so reer baadiye that pasta and radios would confuse them

He wrote "MAPS",it is about the huge defeat of Somalia in Ogaden War(1978)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuruddin_Farah
Maps, which is set during the Ogaden conflict of 1977, employs the innovative technique of second-person narration for exploring questions of cultural identity in a post-independence world. He followed the novel with Gifts (1993) and Secrets (1998), both of which earned awards.
He knows Cuba defeated Somalia in 1978.
