About this book

Jwan Tatar’s memory unfolds through scenes familiar to generations of Syrians: conscription, military service, release and the slow institutional time of a country imagined as one vast crowded barracks. Moving against chronology, the book travels from symbolic death towards symbolic rebirth. Part diary, part novel and part philosophical testimony, Turn to Knowledge listens to murmurs, silences and the bodily textures of fear, asking how a person can recover language and selfhood inside a system built to diminish both.
