In Igor the Changeling, my short story which appeared in Adelaide Literary Magazine in September 2019, a ‘Taliban’ fighter taken to the United States by extraordinary rendition to stand trial for terrorism reveals an extraordinary past. For ‘identity politics’ of an entirely different kind, gritty narrative and an appearance from one of history’s most notorious figures, please give this tale a read. It is based on true events and is dedicated to all the ‘Afghansti’, wherever they are.
