It was written not on paper or a computer, but thumbed on a phone and smuggled out of Manus Island in the form of thousands of text messages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe should recognise the extent of Behrouz Boochani’s achievement by first acknowledging the difficulty of its creation, the near impossibility of its existence. Everything has been done by our government to dehumanise asylum seekers. Their names and their stories are kept from us. On Nauru and Manus Island, they live in a zoo of cruelty. Their lives are stripped of meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese prisoners were all people who had been imprisoned without charge, without conviction, and without sentence. It is a particularly Kafkaesque fate that frequently has the cruellest effect — and one fully intended by their Australian jailers – of destroying hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus the cry for freedom was transmuted into charring flesh as 23-year-old Omid Masoumali burnt his body in protest. The screams of 21-year-old Hodan Yasin as she too set herself alight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is what we, Australia, have become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ignored begging of a woman on Nauru being raped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA girl who sewed her lips together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA child refugee who stitched a heart into their hand and didn’t know why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehrouz Boochani’s revolt took a different form. For the one thing that his jailers could not destroy in Behrouz Boochani was his belief in words: their beauty, their necessity, their possibility, their liberating power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so over the course of his imprisonment Behrouz Boochani began one of the more remarkable careers in Australian journalism: reporting about what was happening on Manus Island in the form of tweets, texts, phone videos, calls, and emails. In so doing he defied the Australian government which went to extreme lengths to prevent refugees’ stories being told, constantly seeking to deny journalists access to Manus Island and Nauru; going so far, for a time, as to legislate the draconian section 42 of the \u003cem\u003eAustralian Border Force Act\u003c\/em\u003e, which allowed for the jailing for two years of any doctors or social workers who bore public witness to children beaten or sexually abused, to acts of rape or cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis words came to be read around the world, to be heard across the oceans and over the shrill cries of the legions of paid propagandists. With only the truth on his side and a phone in his hand, one imprisoned refugee alerted the world to Australia’s great crime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehrouz Boochani has now written a strange and terrible book chronicling his fate as a young man who has spent \u003cem\u003efive years\u003c\/em\u003e on Manus Island as a prisoner of the Australian government’s refugee policies — policies in which both our major parties have publicly competed in cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading this book is difficult for any Australian. We pride ourselves on decency, kindness, generosity, and a fair go. None of these qualities are evident in Boochani’s account of hunger, squalor, beatings, suicide and murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was painfully reminded in his descriptions of the Australian officials’ behaviour on Manus of my father’s descriptions of the Japanese commanders’ behaviour in the POW camps where he and fellow Australian POWs suffered so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat has become of us when it is we who now commit such crimes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis account demands a reckoning. Someone must answer for these crimes. Because if they don’t, the one certainty that history teaches us is that the injustice of Manus Island and Nauru will one day be repeated on a larger, grander, and infinitely more tragic scale in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone is responsible, and it is they, and not the innocent, to whose great suffering this book bears such disturbing witness, who should be in jail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, though, is something greater than just a \u003cem\u003eJ’accuse\u003c\/em\u003e. It is a profound victory for a young poet who showed us all how much words can still matter. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hope one day to welcome Behrouz Boochani to Australia as what I believe he has shown himself to be in these pages.

A few days ago in this exact area a bloody battle erupted, right in the place where we are now standing like submissive sheep. Lebanese refugees stood up to defy the guards who wanted to load them on board. But the guards smashed them and beat them down. They annihilated them, beat down on the arms and faces of a few of them. The guards dragged their battered and blood-soaked bodies over the concrete. They banished them to Manus Island. No matter how the refugees tried to resist, they couldn’t alter the political machinations of a government, a government that had just recently taken power, that had gone mad with the mere whiff of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bus takes off. The path to the airport is surrounded by jungle. The conversation inside the vehicle is about the possibility of a particular scenario: that we will disembark at Darwin Airport and find out that all this talk is nothing but a ridiculous performance, the whole thing just a farce, that this whole thing doesn’t involve Manus in any way. However, talk of this kind comes from a place of weakness. At this point, faith in an occurrence that resembles a miracle comes across as ludicrous. We have to accept the reality. Within hours we will be descending on a remote island called Manus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few police vehicles follow our bus, and a few travel ahead. It is as though they are attending to our bus like a car transporting a president. We are so disempowered that we couldn’t do anything at all, even if we wanted to. Our baggy, cumbersome clothing weighs us down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePandemonium breaks loose at the airport. Dozens of police officers stand by the plane in military mode. A few journalists have their cameras ready. All of them are waiting for us. The interpreters are there, also. That Kurdish woman has both her hands clasped behind her back. She just stands there, completely obedient. I can’t work it out; I can’t understand why they have to securitise that space. I am frightened by the journalists; I am frightened by the cameras they hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJournalists inquire into everything. They are always seeking out horrific events. They acquire fodder for their work from wars, from bad occurrences, from the misery of people. I remember when I used to work for a newspaper I would become agitated from listening to all the news about, for instance, a coup d’état, a revolution, or a terrorist attack. I would begin work with great fervour and scramble for that kind of research like a vulture; in turn, I fed the appetite of the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journalists are staking out the situation like vultures: waiting until the wretched and miserable exit the vehicle; eager for us to come out as quickly as possible, to catch sight of the poor and helpless and launch on us —\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick, click \/\u003cbr\/\u003eWaiting to take their photos \/ Click, click.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e— and dispatch the images to the whole world.

Typically, only Australian citizens or permanent residents are eligible for the award. But an exception was made in Mr. Boochani’s case because judges considered his story an Australia story, said Michael Williams, the director of the Wheeler Center, a literary institution that administers the award on behalf of the state government. ‘We canvassed the critical and broader literary reception of the book, and we made our decision on that basis,’ Mr. Williams said. ‘This is an extraordinary literary work that is an indelible contribution to Australian publishing and storytelling.","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"New York Times","OtherText_Review_1":"Boochani tapped his book out in text messages to his friend Omid Tofighian, who translated the book from Persian. Before the book was published, Boochani filmed a movie, Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time, which was shot in secret, on his cell phone. He has written many articles and essays for Australian and international media. He now holds a non-resident appointment at the University of Sydney. In a different place, or at a different time, these professional recognitions, to say nothing of his many literary awards, would have signalled that Boochani is integrated into Australian society, and valued by it. But Australia’s extreme anti-immigrant turn, which preceded that of the United States by several years, has created a stark disjuncture between what the culture values and what the state allows. In an era when simply being a person in need of international protection makes a man a criminal, he cannot live in the society that has showered him with praise.","OtherText_Review_1_Auth":"Masha Gessen","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"The New Yorker","OtherText_Review_2":"No Friend but the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison is an extraordinary insight into the life of several hundred men held in offshore prisons under the Australian policy of immigration detention.","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Los Angeles Review of Books","OtherText_Review_3":"The winner of Australia’s richest literary prize did not attend the ceremony.
