    In this game I feel into a vicious attack on my kingside, while I had essetially no threats of my own on the queenside.  This is a closed sicilian game because white plays d3 and not d4, but white does not fianchetto his kingside bishop.  I have run into lines similar to this before and always feel at a loss for how to curb whites kingside threats and generate some of my own.  The pawn structure seems to dictate that I begine pushing my queenside pawns to generate threats but this never seems to work as fast as whites kingside attack.  Additionally, the move order of bringing the king out first or the fianchettoing the bishop first, when exactly to castle.. seems to me guesswork in this line because it isn't covered in the opening books my repertoir is based on "Openings for white / black Explained" by Alburt / Dzindzitchashvili / Perelshteyn.  If anyone else is farmiliar with the hyper accellerated dragon or the repertoir reccommened in these books, I would strongly appreciate comments on how black should respond to this type of closed sicilian.
