El fusell del meu pare di Hiner Saleem
Recomanat per en Lluís propietari de l'espai Anònims de Granollers
Iraq (Kurdistan)
Reviewers aren't clear whether this is fiction or memoir. It appears to be best treated as "fictionalized memoir." Azad Selim is a young boy in Iraqi Kurdistan. As the Baathist regime gains power, his community's life becomes increasingly miserable and its insurgency increases. The book is interesting but choppy and artless, a story without a plot. It is useful for its portrait of Kurdish villages and concerns, and to show U.S. readers a different side of Iraq's conflicts. It is also oddly refreshing to read a book from someone under Iraqi authority who (with his community) applauds Saddam Hussein's overthrow.

En lille, men meget sigende fortælling om kurdernes omtumlede historie med udgangspunkt i den kurdiske dreng, Azads historie.
A short memoir that makes clear the pain and frustration of life for a boy growing up a citizen of a nation that exists fully only in its people’s dreams: Kurdistan.
