This is a novel written by a German woman about being an Islamic prisoner in Guantanamo Bay. Large portions of the novel are written in stream of consciousness and/or dream/hallucinogenic sequences. Large portions of it are very hard to muddle through. I found myself enjoying the more clearheaded descriptive portions of the book. While I understand that she is trying to write a novel more about the psychological state of that kind of imprisonment than the true reality of it, it was hard for me to endure. Maybe that's the point, never ending stream of consciousness babble = never ending imprisonment. I feel that. Makes 150 pages seem long.
