I Stared at the Night of the City is a trip, in more ways than one: a tale of extraordinary people travelling great distances, in their minds or with their feet. It is a lyrical interpretation of contemporary Kurdistan, so much in the news nowadays but otherwise so little understood.
Translated from the Kurdish by Kareem Abdulrahman. A tale of extraordinary people travelling great distances in their minds or with their feet, managing the great trick of dipping the readers into fantasia just long enough before hitting them with hard reality checks. *Also appeared in Nov/Dec Buyer's Notes*
