Darn. All I can say is I wish I understood Italian well enough to read this in the original. Apparently this is narrated in the Rome dialect, which is quite different and distinct from 'regular' Italian. Presented from the lens of both an Italian visiting Kurdistan and the Kurds themselves, mounting a resistance against ISIS, this is a fascinating foray into the politics of existence. Definitely worth a read, more so if you are able to read it in Italian.

As an aside, this introduced me to L'Oltretorrente by Atarassia Grop, which I really liked!
