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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780143128793\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Novel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780143128793","offer_id":39414270918749,"sku":"9780143128793","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c0cb36e1-2a0c-42b9-b1b7-2c804d00fa11.jpg?v=1781150602","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/frankenstein-in-baghdad-a-novel-von-ahmed-saadawi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
