No Friend but the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison
Product Description
No Friend but the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison
In 2013, Kurdish-Iranian 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. A vivid portrait of five years of incarceration and exile.
Winner of the Victorian Premier€s Prize for Literature, Australia€s richest literary prize, No Friend But the Mountains is an extraordinary account €• one that is disturbingly representative of the experience of the many stateless and imprisoned refugees and migrants around the world.
