Publisher's summary

Welcome back to America! For a man trapped in the Homeland Security machine, passing through customs becomes a nightmarish odyssey in this story by the author of Beasts of No Nation.

He’s a well-traveled consultant arriving home at a metropolitan airport. He’s also become accustomed to extra scrutiny for his brown skin and many-stamped passport. But when he’s whisked away, isolated, and chained in a stark white room without explanation, his reality crumbles. Because what he doesn’t know is the most damning evidence against him.

Anonymous is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

My Country is Now a Kafkaesque Nightmare

A man detained for no good reason. His life completely disrupted, because my government is paranoid.

This was uncomfortable to hear. It was supposed to be uncomfortable to hear.

Immigrant story

It really just describes the reality of immigrants traveling-not really a fictional story that I was looking for

WOW!

Fantastic
This is masterful written, produced and performed. Very gripping, I saw every step of this unfortunate journey. It’s sad that it is so true for many today.

Powerful look into today’s immigrant experience

I love that the author chose to write this story in second person because it places the reader/listener into the shoes of the protagonist. Given this topic, I think that choice is powerful for creating empathy. I also enjoyed the narration.

A few Horrifying Aspects

Hearing this made me very paranoid and I couldn't help but do some research to brush up on my rights while listening. But I didn't care about the main character.

So involving that I felt like it was my ex spouse talking

Traumatic story written and narrated well. I felt traumatized being transported to my first marriage. Very challenging times. Voices done well. Interesting plot twists. I would not listen again, but only due to reliving an abusive marriage with a man with similar attitude, voice, and culture to the main character. Great content for others to experience. I just can’t. Personal repelling experience.

Unfortunately a story you hear all too often

It is a story that is all too familiar, short but not sweet. I enjoyed it but was saddened by it

Phenomenal

The storytelling will draw you in. It was a 40 minute story with more depth than I’ve heard in much longer books. It’s definitely word a read.
