In a detention camp where he is neither granted asylum nor prepared to be sent back to his native land, a detainee bides his time. He insists on being called Alan Sheriff, a westernisation of his given name. His birth country was once a US ally but is now an enemy. Little more is known of Alan until a writer comes to interview him - resulting in a novel within a novel. Reminiscent of Fahrenheit 451, this is a dazzling story of a man caught between his government and his impulse to run for his life.
