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".
Das Vorwort zum Buch wurde von dem australischen Schriftsteller Richard Flanagan geschrieben.
"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
"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
