*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.

Vincitore del Prize for Arabic Fiction (il Booker arabo) nel 2014, tra 180 candidati provenienti da 15 diversi paesi arabi. Il romanzo è ambientato a Baghdad durante l’occupazione americana nel 2005-2006. La città è costellata di esplosioni kamikaze, percorsa da violenze settarie tra sciiti e sunniti e altri gruppi, priva di un ordine statale e civile vero e proprio, immersa nella precarietà economica. Un misterioso personaggio raccoglie e mette insieme i pezzi di cadaveri prodotti dalle esplosioni e crea un Frankenstein, un mostro che comincia a vivere e a vendicare le vittime. Un po’ alla volta questo mostro, su cui indagano inutilmente polizia e giornali, terrorizza la popolazione di Baghdad, passando a colpire anche vittime innocenti. «Saadawi utilizza il realismo magico con ottimi risultati, mescolando la fantasia con la macabra realtà di Baghdad. L’elemento fantastico aggiunge un tocco di allegria all’opera, mitigando la sua crudezza. Baghdad stessa emerge come un personaggio formidabile, la città natale che Saadawi descrive come un “inferno in terra”». The New York Times «Frankenstein a Baghdad si è aggiudicato la settima edizione del Premio Internazionale della narrativa araba. Il riconoscimento va a un libro sulla vendetta, la crudeltà e la sete di giustizia in una città devastata dalle bombe e dalle violenze settarie». Il Sole 24 Ore

This unique anthology of Iraqi noir fiction collects fourteen original stories of crime, conspiracy, regret, and revenge in the capital of Iraq. The centuries-old city of Baghdad has known many rulers, many troubles, and many crimes. But while most Iraqis would agree that their life has always been noir, there has not been a literary tradition to capture this aspect of the culture. By commissioning the fourteen stories collected here—most by Iraqi writers, all by authors familiar with Baghdad—editor Samuel Shimon and Akashic Books have created what may be the first anthology of Iraqi crime fiction ever assembled. Here you will read of life in Baghdad both during and after the Saddam Hussein era, with stories of fear in the shadow of a ruthless dictator; kidnappings in the time of U.S. occupation; detectives who investigate political conspiracies; and tales of revenge, assassination, mental illness, and family struggle in the war-torn City of Peace. Baghdad Noir includes brand-new stories by Sinan Antoon, Ali Bader, Mohammed Alwan Jabr, Nassif Falak, Dheya al-Khalidi, Hussain al-Mozany, Layla Qasrany, Hayet Raies, Muhsin al-Ramli, Ahmed Saadawi, Hadia Said, Salima Salih, Salar Abdoh, and Roy Scranton.

This is a collection about sex, death and the all-important skill of making life into a joke. These are unexpected stories by a very fresh voice. These stories are unforgettable.
