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 caf --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 hes 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 Baghdads new literary star ( The New York Times ), Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality of contemporary Iraq. Winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction Winner of Frances Grand Prize for Fantasy
