Hadi, a junk dealer from Baghdad, creates a creature made up from the body parts of people who have been the victims of explosions in the city. But his creature runs away, vowing to avenge those people. This book is a savage black comedy, a satire on the bureaucracy and corruption of modern Iraq and a heartfelt tribute to the ordinary citizens of Baghdad.
