A Fork Around My Wrist

About this book

Ali writes a long confession about isolation, family distance, lost friendships, and a cold inner voice that magnifies every wound. The metal fork wrapped around his wrist, inspired by a film and linked to his late grandmother, becomes both a keepsake and an uneasy boundary between protection and harm. The novel follows a mental-health crisis and the difficult realisation that survival may begin with accepting help and learning to live with an unruly mind.
