Tirana Airport-001

















A short story set at Tirana International Airport entitled ‘Beni’s Game’ will be published next week. Details to follow here.

‘Well, Beni left for England about a year ago, but I don’t remember seeing him since he was...’ Jude considered. ‘Maybe fourteen? Tousled, brown hair then. Shy, but a cunning little fella. He used to hide “Chance” cards under the Monopoly board at the youth club.’

'Beni's Game' is based on characters in two novels by Paul Alkazraji 'The Silencer' and 'The Migrant'.

Lauren Flewett My review of this short story:

A short but poignant story by the author of The Silencer and The Migrant. I read The Silencer last year (check out my review!) and so I jumped at the chance to read this short story.

The story follows Beni who got to the UK in a boat which was a disastrous crossing and then he gets deported back to Albania…only to be greeted by friend and foe.

It is definitely worth picking up Paul Alkazraji’s books.
