Synopsis

'Laced with charm, candor and a vital sense of warmth.' The Guardian

An estranged father. An abused and abusive mother. An army of relatives. A tapestry of violence stretching between Turkey, Lebanon, and Western Sydney.

This is the legacy left to Jamal Smith, a young queer Muslim trying to escape a past in which memory and rumour trace ugly shapes in the dark. When every thread in life constricts instead of connects, how do you find a way to breathe? Torn between faith and fear, gossip and gospel, family and friendship, Jamal must find and test the limits of love.

In this extraordinary work, Omar Sakr deftly weaves a multifaceted tale brimming with angels and djinn, racist kangaroos and adoring bats, examining with a poet’s eye the destructive impetus of repressed desire and the complexities that make us human.
