I’m in Seattle, Where Are You? - by Mortada Gzar

This book delivered what I had hoped for: a look at an unfamiliar world. I was surprised and sometimes shocked by what I read about the treatment of homosexuals and others who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time in Iraq.
As the book is translated, it is hard to comment on the writing style, but there was a somewhat foreign “voice”. This did not make the book hard to read or less enjoyable.
