Product Information
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, awarded to the best first book of the year Named one of the best books of the year by: THE NEW YORK TIMES - THE WASHINGTON POST - THE ECONOMIST - TIME A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale. The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century, amplified by China's establishment of an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state. Over a million people have vanished into China's internment camps for Muslim minorities. Tahir, a prominent poet and intellectual, had been no stranger to persecution. After he attempted to travel abroad in 1996, police tortured him until he confessed to fabricated charges and sent him to a re-education through labor camp. But even having endured three years in the camp, he could never have predicted the Chinese government's radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later. Was the first sign when Tahir was interrogated for hours after a phone call with a fellow poet in the Netherlands? Or when his old friend was sentenced to life in prison simply for calling for Uyghurs' legal rights to be enforced? Perhaps it was when the police seized Uyghurs' radios and installed jamming equipment to cut them off from the outside world. Once Tahir noticed that the park near his home was nearly empty because so many neighbors had been arrested, he knew the police would be coming for him any day. One night, after Tahir's daughters were asleep, he placed by his door a sturdy pair of shoes, a sweater, and a coat so that he could stay warm if the police came for him in the middle of the night. It was clear to Tahir and his wife that fleeing the country was the family's only hope. Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil's homeland. Among leading Uyghur intellectuals and writers, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began. His book is a call for the world to awaken to the unfolding catastrophe, and a tribute to his friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced.

Reviews
"[ Waiting to Be Arrested at Night ] is lyrical, heartfelt, and perfectly paced; the narrative unfolds with a slow, simmering burn. Never shying away from vulnerability, the author shines a much-needed light on the complex, contradictory emotions of trading a homeland for a lifetime of both safety and survivor's guilt. A profoundly moving memoir about China's oppression of the Uyghurs." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Among our scattered glimpses of the Uyghur catastrophe in China--the digital surveillance, the mass arrests, the reeducation camps--it seems impossible to imagine the survival of any individual creative sensibility. But Tahir Hamut Izgil is a rare artist. He records in vivid detail his fear, his resourcefulness, his loss, and his survivor's guilt--the full emotional arc of a poet in flight and exile. Even if we can't comprehend why this tragedy is happening in Xinjiang, Tahir reminds us why it matters." --Peter Hessler "This is an exceptionally powerful, profoundly lyrical, and beautifully translated book--I urge you to read it. It illuminates, in unforgettable human detail and complexity, the current Chinese government's assault on Uyghur society and culture, and the urgent humanitarian crisis it has generated." --Julia Lovell " Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is a terrifying, compelling read of one family's efforts to escape the jaws that were closing around them and millions of others in China's far western region of Xinjiang. Drawing the reader into a vortex of fear and suspicion, Izgil has put forth a narrative that reads like a horror novel but is more disturbing because it tells a true story of out-of-control authoritarianism. Highly recommended for general readers and anyone seeking a readable first-person account of China's surveillance state." --Ian Johnson "Tahir Hamut Izgil's gripping book evokes haunting memories of the terror and persecution he endured in his homeland, where dreams are turned into nightmares. Despite the gravity of his account, Izgil's writing remains serene and sincere; his stories are engaging and evoke empathy. To call this merely 'a good book' is an understatement--it is essential reading." --Ai Weiwei "I was riveted and chastened by Tahir Hamut Izgil's memoir of surveillance, internment, violent persecution, and miraculous flight. The humanitarian crisis affecting China's Uyghur citizens is an indictment of all nations and all people. Izgil's crystalline, courageous prose is a wake-up call for everyone invested in the myth--and also the possibility--of freedom." --Tracy K. Smith "Elegiac and deeply courageous, a most powerful literary indictment of the unfettered power of the state. A remarkable book." -- Philippe Sands, author of East West Street "Tahir Hamut Izgil's powerful and poignant memoir is an instant classic. He lays bare the vicious genocidal persecution of the precious Uyghur people in a very personal and persuasive way. His grand poetic temperament exemplifies the unstoppable resilience of the rich Uyghur soul." --Cornel West, "Elegiac and deeply courageous, a most powerful literary indictment of the unfettered power of the state. A remarkable book." -- Philippe Sands, author of East West Street "Tahir Hamut Izgil's powerful and poignant memoir is an instant classic. He lays bare the vicious genocidal persecution of the precious Uyghur people in a very personal and persuasive way.
