Description
"In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally detained on Manus Island, a refugee detention centre off the coast of Australia. He has been there ever since. This book is the result. Laboriously tapped out on a mobile phone and translated from the Farsi, it is a voice of witness, an act of survival, a lyric first-hand account, a cry of resistance and a vivid portrait through five years of incarceration and exile."--,Provided by publisher.
Language
In English, translated from the Farsi.
