Description
WINNER of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2014.
From legends of the desert to horrors of the forest, Blasim's stories blend the fantastic with the everyday, the surreal with the all-too-real.
Taking his cues from Kafka, his prose shines a dazzling light into the dark absurdities of Iraq s recent past and the torments of its countless refugees.
The subject of this, his second collection, is primarily trauma and the curious strategies human beings adopt to process it (including, of course, fiction).
The result is a masterclass in metaphor- a new kind of story-telling, forged in the crucible of war, and just as shocking.
