About the Book

Después de la segunda guerra de Irak, en el Bagdad todavía ocupado por las tropas estadounidenses, un trapero decide recolectar algunos de los restos humanos que encuentra esparcidos por las calles y formar con ellas un único cadáver al que poder dar sepultura. Pero, para su sorpresa, el cuerpo cobrará vida y pondrá patas arriba el día a día de una comunidad variopinta: una anciana que desde hace años espera el regreso de su hijo desaparecido en la guerra con Irán, un avaro hotelero que pretende hacerse con todos los edificios del barrio o un joven periodista que, mientras intenta olvidar a una mujer, irá tras la pista de esta singular criatura. Ahmed Saadawi dibuja una iluminadora sátira del conflicto iraquí y de la esperpéntica vida cotidiana que se genera tras el final de una guerra. Una obra multipremiada que ha erigido a su autor como una de las voces árabes más importantes de la actualidad.

After the Second Iraq War, in the Baghdad still occupied by US troops, a ragpicker decides to collect some of the human remains that he finds scattered on the streets and form with them a single corpse in order to give them a proper burial. But, to his surprise, the body comes to life and ruins the day-to-day life of his motley community: an old woman who has been waiting for years for the return of her son that disappeared in the war with Iran, a miserly hotelier who wants to take control of all the neighbourhood buildings, or a young journalist who, while trying to forget a woman, will be on the trail of this unique creature. Ahmed Saadawi draws an illuminating satire of the Iraq conflict and the gruesome daily life that follows the end of a war. A multi-awarded work that has established its author as one of the most important Arab voices today.
