Text Messages is the first multi-genre collection by Montreal-based Iraqi hip-hop artist, activist, and professor Yassin “Narcy” Alsalman. Composed entirely on a smartphone during air travel and married to artwork from comrades, Narcy’s writing speaks of the existential crises experienced by diasporic children of war before and during imperialism in the age of the Internet. Narcy’s verses span the space between hip-hop and manifesto, portraying a crumbling, end-stage capitalist society, visions for a new reality, and the myth of multiculturalism in post-9/11 America.

EL MEJOR ESCRITOR SEFARDÍ DE ISRAEL. Prof. Habiba Pdaya. Haaretz. Sept. 2020. "Una novela en castellano escrita por un autor sefardí siempre es algo original, pero en este caso, hay algo más. Mucho más: Amor y exilios es una novela escrita por un poeta y eso siempre se nota. Y no sólo en el modo de abordar los sentimientos, o la textura de las situaciones, o los matices humanos que van componiendo una trama de distancias que se amplían y se acercan. La mano del poeta se nota sobre todo en el conocimiento del peso, el valor y la fuerza de cada palabra, componiendo un resultado a la vez...
