Mister, Mister / Guy Gunaratne.
"Who is Yahya Bas? Revolutionary poet, notorious jihadist, misbegotten son, self-styled idiot-boy. When the enigmatic Yahya finds himself languishing in a UK detention center after fleeing the conflict in Syria, he has many questions to face. What was he doing in the desert? Why did he betray his country? What led him to to write the incendiary verses that launched him to international infamy? Mister, his interrogator, wants answers. So Yahya resolves to tell his own story, in his own words, and on his own terms. Following a child of the tumultuous 90s who becomes the unwitting voice of a generation, Mister, Mister is many stories at once: the invention of an identity, the quest for a long-lost father, and the discovery of another way to live in the shadow of war."-- Provided by publisher.
