Logathasan Tharmathurai

This week on the Richard Crouse Show: In January 1985, at the age of eighteen, Logathasan (Das) Tharmathurai left his home in Sri Lanka in a desperate bid to build a new life for himself and his family abroad after a deeply traumatic encounter with a group of Sinhalese soldiers. The story of his terrifying and often astonishing journey includes a refugee camp, being smuggled across international borders, living with drug dealers, being imprisoned, and more… the entire story is in his new book The Sadness Of Geography.
