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.
