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...
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.

忘了标了。现代怪物诞生于每一场爆炸案的受害者遗骸,身体的每一个部分都需要重生的怪物为自己复仇,为了维持身体的运行又需要不停地寻找新的器官,怪物的存在根基就是战后伊拉克无法弥补的暴力。

Violence in the time of religion (Children of the Alley), monster of patched-up yearning for justice in the time of massive violence (a story that is "not epic fantasy, but applied fantasy").

仇恨的无尽循环,暴力的永动机,人类创造出反噬自己的怪物,潜藏在巴格达的角落和阴暗处。一个很喜欢的小情节是情报机关依赖于预言家和神灵,嘲笑着伊拉克战争后的反恐战和安全议程化

它是科学怪人,它是救世主,它是属于海湾地区的超级英雄,它是巴格达的人形具象,诞生于神之手(而神是收废品老头),是政府维稳的替罪羊,也是巴格达街头巷尾的每片黑暗。
