Summary:

"Kawa Nemir is like a walking dictionary of Kurdish language. He incessantly records new words and idioms of his mother tongue. He considers language his home as he wanders from one exile to another. With its vast, infinite range of words, symbols and anti-colonial resonance, translating James Joyce's Ulysses into Kurdish becomes a burning passion for him. Leaving political turmoil and his loved ones behind he moves from Turkey to the Netherlands. Kawa takes refuge at Anne Frank's former house in Amsterdam, where she started writing her diary, now serving as residence for exiled writers. Will he be able to publish the translation of Ulysses?" - https://imageacts.com/en/translating-ulysses.
