No friend but the mountains : writing from Manus Prison / Behrouz Boochani ; translated by Omid Tofighian.

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. A lyric first-hand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through five years of incarceration and exile."-- Provided by publisher.
