Frankenstein in Baghdad | Thalia

*Man Booker International Prize finalist* 'Brave and ingenious.' -The New York Times 'Gripping, darkly humorous . . . profound.' -Phil Klay, bestselling author and National Book Award winner for Redeployment 'Extraordinary . . . A devastating but essential read.' -Kevin Powers, bestselling author and National Book Award finalist for The Yellow Birds From the rubble-strewn streets of U.S.-occupied Baghdad, Hadi-a scavenger and an oddball fixture at a local café-collects human body parts and stitches them together to create a corpse. His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and to give them proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realizes he's created a monster, one that needs human flesh to survive-first from the guilty, and then from anyone in its path. A prizewinning novel by 'Baghdad's new literary star' (The New York Times), Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality of contemporary Iraq.
