Sensual, political and beautifully wrought.The Australian, the big books of 2026In this seductive, provocative debut, two Afghan mencast out of their respective countries of birth by circumstances beyond their controlcollide in Istanbul, a city tha…t will test their willingness to sacrifice everything for the ones they love.When Delbara hapless twenty-something with dreams of becoming a drag queenis spectacularly outed, he flees the insular immigrant-dense suburbs of Washington, DC, to seek refuge with his sympathetic aunt in Istanbul. There he discovers a vibrant community of dissidents, sex workers, activists, poets, and heretics. Among them are Leif and his boyfriend, Mansur, with whom Delbar quickly develops a blazing fascination.

When riot police descend on attendees of the annual Istanbul Pride march, Mansur and Delbar are thrust into dangerous proximity. With the country surging into authoritarianism, each person must ask themselves: what constitutes a life well-lived, and how high is the price of freedom? Told through the alternating viewpoints of Delbar and Mansur, Bobuq Sayeds debut is a story of borders and boundaries transgressed, and a deeply engrossing exploration of what it means to make a home at the margins of society.
