No friend but the mountains : writing from Manus Prison

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

Summary: 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. It is a cry of resistance and a portrait through five years of incarceration and exile.
