The Award-winning International Bestselling Story of One Man's Six Year Detention in AustraliaIn 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country's most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.Behrouz Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. He has been there ever since.
This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people as borders close around the world.No Friend but the Mountains is both a brave act of witness and a moving testament to the humanity of all people, in the most extreme of circumstances. Compiled and translated from Farsi, they form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. 'A brilliant book.
No Friend but the Mountains can rightly take its place on the shelf of world prison literature . . . It is a profound victory for a young poet who showed us all how much words can still matter.' - Richard Flanagan, Booker Prize winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North
