n*Man Booker International Prize finalist* nBrave and ingenious. --The New York Times n nGripping, darkly humorous . . . profound. --Phil Klay, bestselling author and National Book Award winner for Redeployment n nExtraordinary . . . A devastating but essential read. --Kevin Powers, bestselling author and National Book Award finalist for The Yellow Birds n n 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.n
