Reviews
"The author was named the City's first PEN Writer-In-Exile when he arrived in Edmonton because his memoir arises above the level of personal history to a saga of Kurdish history under Saddam Hussein's tyranny." Anne Burke, The Prairie Journal, Barzanjis memoir is a survivors story conveyed in direct, laconic, and decisive prose. The prison ordeal he recounts could crush the mightiest of souls. Yet Barzanji forbears bitterness; his world encompasses peace, love, and beauty. Amy O'Loughlin, ForeWord Reviews, March 26, 2013|9780888645364|, "Jalal Barzanji, a Kurd from Iraq, endured imprisonment, torture, and exile, in order to share his life experiences through the usage of words. This is not a chronological story from beginning to end, but rather has a storytelling aspect that skips around to different memories that he has about his own life, and from others who have told him their memories and stories." - Angela Green, University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries 2012, Outstanding Title, "The author was named the City's first PEN Writer-In-Exile when he arrived in Edmonton because his memoir arises above the level of personal history to a saga of Kurdish history under Saddam Hussein's tyranny." Anne Burke, The Prairie Journa, "This well-written memoir is put together like a novel, with the events ordered to create a simulacrum of memory as well as to build tension and introduce foreshadowing. Not only do we receive an accurate picture of Jalal Barzanjis life story but, also, in seeing into the lives of his contemporary Kurds, we understand the force of his epiphany that his own story is necessarily part of a larger narrative." Gillian Harding-Russell, Prairie Fire Review of Books, 12.3, "[Barzanji conjures a] haunting impression of the uncertainties of Kurdish life under Saddam Hussein... The grim account of prison life that follows is replete with novelistic details. There is some inevitable squalor and brutality, but also unexpected humanity. Raconteurs in the overcrowded cells distract others with droll stories... What sets Barzanji's story above mere reportage is his poet's eye for detail. His recollections of childhood in Kurdistan are as absorbing as anything that takes place within the prison... Appropriately, the most memorable image in the whole book is the conversion of the local library into the prison that will eventually house Barzanji." - Brendan de Caires, Freedom to Read Magazine 2012, "When the author became convinced that his family and he had no future in Iraq, he decided to flee to 'freedom', regardless of difficulties involved. He writes vividly about the human smuggling industry in Turkey, Greece, and many other European countries, fed by Afghans, Iraqis, Pakistanis, and many other people from all over the world. His valiant efforts started in 1988 and ended in 1999 when he managed to obtain an immigration visa for Canada through the UN refugee programme.... It is a heart breaking, well-documented and well-written story that compels the reader to continue reading..., turning page after page." - Hrayr Berberoglu, Kurdish Globe, June 2012., Peter Midgley's edit of Jalal Barzanji's The Man in Blue Pajamas has helped create a book that tells an important and accessible story. In his work, Peter considered both the author's and the reader's needs. His consultative approach with the author sought to clarify and elaborate a work complicated by the fragility of memory and translation. The edit resolved complex language issues and delivered compelling detail, aware of the 'challenge not simply to rewrite, but to...allow the author to do the work.' The result is an excellent read, with a glossary and timeline that provide valuable guides and context for readers. - Jury comments, Lois Hole Award for Editorial Excellence, June 2012.|9780888645364|

Synopsis
The style of my book must be in small pieces, as my life has been in pieces. (Jalal Barzanji) From 1986 to 1988 poet and journalist Jalal Barzanji endured imprisonment and torture under Saddam Hussein's regime because of his literary and journalistic achievements-writing that openly explores themes of peace, democracy, and freedom. It was not until 1998, when he and his family took refuge in Canada, that he was able to consider speaking out fully on these topics. Still, due to economic necessity, Barzanji's dream of writing had to wait until he was named Edmonton's first Writer-in-Exile in 2007. This literary memoir is the project Barzanji worked on while Writer-in-Exile, and it is the first translation of his work from Kurdish into English.
