Description: The Operating System is honored to publish the first Arabic-English full translation of Ashraf Fayadh's singular volume of poetry, Insructions within, which was published by the Beirut-based Dar al-Farabi in 2008 and later banned from distribution in Saudi Arabia. This special edition includes two paintings by Ashraf Fayadh on its front and back covers, and is right bound, asking the reader to consider their estrangement from Arabic language, literature, and life, inviting a new relationship to begin to form. The Operating System will donate proceeds from sales of this book to support Fayadh's ongoing case for his release from imprisonment for apostasy as a response to these very verses in Saudi Arabia.
Notes: Book reads from right to left.
