Josef Hammer writes about who is permitted to speak.

Exiled at eighteen, he has spent forty years on a single subject. Honour, silence, and the machinery that turns love into obedience. He grew up among the traditions he writes about, and he has lived in London for many years.

Caging Honour is a novel about an honour killing and about the part the newspapers never print. Everyone knew who killed Aisha. Nobody knew the beginning.

Unlicensed Voice is a dystopian novel set in a city where every voice is registered and saying your own name is a crime.

His first novella appeared in 1997. He has written poetry, songs and essays alongside the fiction, and the concerns have never changed. What a family will do to keep its papers in order. What a state will do to keep a street quiet. What it costs the first person who refuses.
