No Friend But the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison
by Behrouz Boochani
Mind blown. If anyone picks it up and thinks they will be reading the universal story of the plight of refugees or a refugee memoir which is being sold to create empathy, then they are wrong.
This is a book which discusses prison narratives; it is political art and philosophical poetry/writing. It has the most unique style of writing in English literature. I have no doubt that it will gain momentum as a masterpiece of Australian/Kurdish literature. The Prison on Manus Island has a system which targets it’s prisoners through mental oppression. The book is dignified in a way it captures the human experience of the random mental torture that the prisoners experience and try to hold their sanity together.
Needless to say, I won’t be forgetting this book any time soon. I highly recommend it as reading it is a experience like nothing you are ever likely to have read before.
