Synopsis
Cyprus’ capital Nicosia has been split by a militarised border for decades. In this collection, writers from all sides of the divide reimagine the past, present and future of their city.
Together, these writers journey beyond the beaten track creating a complete picture of Nicosia, the world’s last divided capital city, that defies barriers of all kinds.

Really looking forward to this, what a great addition to Cypriot literature.
An insightful collection reflecting on the long-term human consequences of a ‘Small Forgotten War’ (have lived through one myself, at a different place in the Middle East, at a different time). Professor Adil’s edited volume and contribution contributes significantly to our understanding of conflict, reconciliation, and their emotional, affective and existential aspects half a lifetime on at a crucial juncture in cultural/geographical space where the EU meets the Middle East.

Thinking in an ‘other’ language, beyond the island’s language barrier helped to overcome so many other barriers, layered, enmeshed, hardened, unvisited.
