A blistering debut that does for the Iraqi perspective on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan what Phil Klay’s Redeployment does for the American perspectiveThe first major literary work about the Iraq War from an Iraqi perspective—by an explosive new voice hailed as “perhaps the best writer of Arabic fiction alive” (The Guardian)—The Corpse Exhibition shows us the war as we have never seen it before. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of storytelling forged in the crucible of war.. Here is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car bombers, refugees and terror
The title story is all about the fine art of displaying corpses in public places. The matter-of-fact tone of its first-person narrator, a sort of instructor, suggests Kafka’s “A Report to an Academy.” But one thinks of Borges in perhaps the best entry, “The Nightmares of Carlos Fuentes,” about an Iraqi immigrant to Holland who’s determined to put his country’s evils behind him, even to the point that he pretends to be Mexican. Many characters are terrorists, as in “The Killers and the Compass,” in which a veteran terrorist explains the divinity one acquires in the disposition of extreme violence—not a Muslim divi

A Harrowing Collection Of Short Stories Arisen From The Darkness Of The Iraq War Nassem Al-Mehairi The Corpse Exhibition by Hassan Blasim is a collection of 14 short stories. Ranging from a man driven mad by being stuck in a deep hole to a man forced to become a suicide-bomber to save his mother, these stories are thought-provoking and haunting.The first major literary piece from an Iraqi point-of-view on the War shows it to us like none other. In the style of cadence writing well-known to have been used by Omar Khayyam and others, we see the War that defines modern conflict- soldiers, suicide-bombers, terrorists, and refugees. The Corpse E. Compelling and yet, sometimes repulsive Based on another source that I read, I thought these were going to be short stories based on actual events in Iraq during the U.S. intervention. And, some of them were. But the stories could be more accurately described as a peek inside of Hassan Blasim's crazy and sometimes morbid imagination. And yet, none of them went so far as to be considered unrealistic. The truth is people sometimes do horrific things to other people. I was constantly drawn to this book, to read the next chapter, and yet repelled at the same time. Blasim is a talented w
