- Book Synopsis
- Mute Men articulates the author's musings born on late bus journeys and silent morning car journeys with his dad. Kamil focusses on narratives of the often sidelined, within the microcosm of the Muslim immigrant majority area that raised him, as well as internationally exploring the fall-out of colonialism, war and displacement. The collection is a brutally honest collage of disconnect, of a boy stumbling into manhood; processing a strayed history whilst probing his place in the world.
