'A powerful devastating insight into a situation that's so often seen through a political - not personal - lens.' GQ In 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. He has been there ever since. 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. Compiled and translated from Farsi they form an incredible story of how in escaping political persecution in Iran he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many refugees 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. '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.' Booker Prize winning author Richard Flanagan
