Fly on the Wall Roger Kenworthy

Dissenter. Prisoner. Survivor. In the quiet depths of a jail cell--the story of a forgotten man, solitary and alone, unravels the truth behind the human mind and the limits it will go to retain its humanity. After condemning the regime of Saddam Hussein, Dr. Abdulla is spared the firing squad for a fate worse than death. Tucked away from the recesses of collective memory and out of reach from human contact, an agile mind slips into twilight and falls way into shadow. Documented in a carefully kept journal, the journey of five long years begins with a single deep breath--as this brave man descends into the darkest corners of one's imagination and struggles to hold onto his sanity. An incredible look into the lost world of the forgotten man--where even the word solitary fails to encompass the stunning finality of a world without. Seen, heard, and read through the eyes of an able man--this unique portrayal of solitude speaks to the strength of the human spirit and its battle against the encroaching silence.
