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.","brand":"Penguin LLC US","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53411999023446,"sku":"9780143128793-G","price":10.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780143128793_1.jpg?v=1777977940","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ahmed-saadawi-frankenstein-in-baghdad-9780143128793","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
