Ahmed Saadawi is an Iraqi novelist, poet, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker. He is the first Iraqi to win the International Prize for Arabic Fiction; he won in 2014 for Frankenstein in Baghdad, which also won France’s Grand Prize for Fantasy. In 2010 he was selected for Beirut39, as one of the 39 best Arab authors under the age of 39. He was born in 1973 in Baghdad, where he still lives.
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.

作者:鍾天意 我想以一句《共産黨宣言》的戲仿作為本文的開頭:“一個幽靈,一個復仇者的幽靈,在巴格達的廢墟上徘徊。為瞭對這個幽靈進行神聖的圍剿,警察和記者,美軍與狂信徒,都聯閤起來瞭。”這是我能想到對《弗蘭肯斯坦在巴格達》一書最簡明直接的闡釋。 (一) “今天的...

圖書標籤: 長篇小說 當代 小說 伊拉剋 中東文學 iraq Saadawi Fiction
忘瞭標瞭。現代怪物誕生於每一場爆炸案的受害者遺骸,身體的每一個部分都需要重生的怪物為自己復仇,為瞭維持身體的運行又需要不停地尋找新的器官,怪物的存在根基就是戰後伊拉剋無法彌補的暴力。
評分Freaky, Crazy, Strange的課後讀物,終於看完啦。其實拋開中東背景我覺得挺平淡的,但我很喜歡結尾。
