Join us for our next Literature in Translation Book Club gathering on Tuesday 9th of June at 6pm at the Book Cow, where our chosen title is Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi (translated by Jonathan Wright).From the rubble-strewn streets of US-occupied Baghdad, Hadi collects body parts from the dead, which he stitches together to form a corpse.
He claims he does it to force the government to recognise the parts as real people, and give them a proper burial.
But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps across the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking, flesh-eating monster that cannot be killed. At first it's the guilty he attacks, but soon it's anyone who crosses his path...
Buy the book on our website or in store. Come and join the conversation! Spaces will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. New members are most welcome.
