No friend but the mountains : writing from Manus Prison

Boochani, Behrouz (author.). Tofighian, Omid, (translator.).

Summary: "Our government jailed his body, but his soul remained that of a free man."--From the Foreword by Man Booker Prize-winning author Richard FlanaganIn 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 Prize for Literature, 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.
