520    "In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was 
       illegally detained on Manus Island, a refugee detention 
       centre off the coast of Australia. He has been there ever 
       since. This book is the result. Laboriously tapped out on 
       a mobile phone and translated from the Farsi. It is a 
       voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyric first-hand 
       account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through 
       five years of incarceration and exile."--|cProvided by
