How would you explain “odd gesture” in the context? When Murph’s mom came to visit she brought me a map of Iraq. I thought it was an odd gesture when I first began to look at it, folding and unfolding it in my cell, struggling with the arrangement of the arbitrary lines that it would fold itself along when I went to put it up at night. Within the map there was a section magnifying Al Tafar and its surrounding landscapes. It stopped being funny after a while. The grid seemed so foreign and imprecise. Just a place scaled out of existence on a map. How would you explain “odd gesture” in the passage? Does it refer to the other person’s giving him a map? Or does it refer to his looking at the map? Thanks!

The author means that Murph's mom's bringing me a a map of Iraq is a rather strange action. A gesture here means an action that has certain indications.
