Dopo lo straordinario "Nessun amico se non le montagne”, lo scrittore e giornalista curdo-iraniano Behrouz Boochani torna in libreria con “Libertà, solo libertà” (Add Editore). Sono gli scritti di oltre cinque anni di detenzione sull'isola di Manus, in Papua Nuova Guinea, all'interno di un centro offshore australiano. Un dispositivo, replicato oggi in forme diverse da più parti, che strumentalizza i rifugiati per mantenere il potere
Look, I found a new limerick in Pete's Rubbish Bin!

“An ocean he desperately crossed.

Boochani, you won, and I lost.”

Still can't quite believe that #BehrouzBoochani is here... looking forward to seeing him speak at UNSW next week!
"Australia imprisoned his body, but his soul remained that of a free man. His words have now irrevocably become our words, and our history must henceforth account for his story."
- Richard Flanagan, Vorwort zu "No Friend But The Mountain" von Behrouz Boochani
"Behrouz Boochani's revolt took a diffrent form. For the one thing that his jailers could not destroy in Behrouz Boochani was his beliefs in words: their beauty, their necessity, their possibility, their liberating power."
- Richard Flanagan, Vorwort zu "No Friend But The Mountain" von Behrouz Boochani
Das Vorwort zum Buch wurde von dem australischen Schriftsteller Richard Flanagan geschrieben.
Ich habe gerade mit "No Friend But The Mountain" von Behrouz Boochani angefangen.
Dieses Buch wurde während seiner illegalen Gefangenenschaft auf Manus Island (Australien) heimlich auf einem Handy getippt und dann per Textnachricht nach draußen "geschmuggelt".
