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..
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.
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.
His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and to give them proper burial. --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.
A devastating but essential read. . . --Phil Klay, bestselling author and National Book Award winner for Redeployment Extraordinary . profound. . . -- The New York Times Gripping, darkly humorous . *Man Booker International Prize finalist* Brave and ingenious
