A blistering debut that does for the Iraqi perspective on the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan what Phil Klay's "Redeployment "does for
the American perspective
The first major literary work about the Iraq War from an Iraqi
perspective--by an explosive new voice hailed as "perhaps the best
writer of Arabic fiction alive" ("The Guardian")--"The Corpse
Exhibition "shows us the war as we have never seen it before. Here
is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car
bombers, refugees and terrorists, but also of madmen and prophets,
angels and djinni, sorcerers and spirits.
Blending shocking realism with flights of fantasy, "The Corpse
Exhibition" offers us a pageant of horrors, as haunting as the
photos of Abu Ghraib and as difficult to look away from, but shot
through with a gallows humor that yields an unflinching comedy of
the macabre. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of
storytelling forged in the crucible of war.
