visits Sibki Park in Damascus, one of the city's most popular cruising areas. There
he learns about the hammams, secret meeting places for gay men located
throughout the old city. Inside these public baths, the air is thick with the
scent of bay laurel soap, and naked men hide in the steam. Furat faces sometimes
violent disapproval from all levels of society-regime, religion, the man in the
street?and yet he manages to find the love he's been seeking just before his
world collapses and he's forced to flee. Selamlik is the story of Furat's
journey, along with that of other refugees. It's a journey in which they face
physical and economic hardship, draconian migration laws, and the unwelcome
grief, shame, and hatred they've carried with them from their ever more distant
pasts. Despite everything, Furat remains steadfast in his pursuit of passion, pleasure,
and love.
