Reviews
"Perhaps the greatest writer of Arabic fiction alive . . . [His stories are] crisp and shocking . . . cruel, funny and unsettling [with] hooks and twists that will lodge in any mind." - The Guardian "A bravura collection . . . Mind-bendingly bizarre . . . Blasim . . . lights his charnel house with guttering flares of wit. . . . [Be] ready to be shocked and awed by these pitch-black fairytales." - The National "Blasim pitches everyday horror into something almost gothic. . . . [His] taste for the surreal can be Gogol-like." - The Independent "Stunningly powerful . . . Brutal, vulgar, imaginative, and unerringly captivating . . . Every story ends with a shock, and none of them falter. A searing, original portrait of Iraq and the universal fallout of war." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "Powerful, moving and deeply descriptive . . . All the stories share a complexity and depth that will appeal to readers of literary fiction [and] fans of Günter Grass, Gabriel García Márquez or Jorge Luis Borges." - Kirkus Reviews "Excellent . . . Like hollow shards of laughter echoing in the dark . . . Blasim moves adeptly between surreal, internalised states of mind and ironic commentary on Islamic extremism and the American invasion. . . . Extraordinary." - Metro "Iraq's story must still be told, and we need Iraqi voices like Blasim's to tell it." - More Intelligent Life "Clever and memorable . . . Agreeably creepy . . . Move[s] effectively between surreal and magical. . . . Blasim's use of the real-life horrors of Iraq [and] the fanciful spins he puts on events make the horrors bearable-even as these also often become more chilling." - The Complete Review "The first major literary work about the Iraq War as told from an Iraqi perspective . . . Starkly visual . . . Luridly macabre . . . Eloquent, moving . . . Effortlessly powerful and affecting . . . More surreally gruesome than the goriest of horror stories . . . Hassan Blasim is very much a writer in [the] Dickensian mould. . . . These are tales that demand to be told." - CityLife.co.uk "Savagely comic . . . A corrosive mixture of broken lyricism, bitter irony and hyper-realism . . . I can't recommend highly enough 'The Corpse Exhibition,' 'The Market of Stories' or 'The Nightmares of Carlos Fuentes.' " - The M John Harrison blog "[Blasim is] a master of metaphor who is now developing his own dark philosophy [in] stories of profane lyricism, skewed symbolism and macabre romanticism. . . . [His work is] Bolaño-esque in its visceral exuberance, and also Borgesian in its gnomic complexity." - The Guardian , "Perhaps the greatest writer of Arabic fiction alive . . .

Synopsis
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 perspective " A] wonderful collection." --George Saunders, The New York Times Book Review The 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. Here is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car bombers, refugees and terrorists, but also of madmen and prophets, angels and djinni, sorcerers and spirits. Blending shocking realism with flights of fantasy, The Corpse Exhibition offers us a pageant of horrors, as haunting as the photos of Abu Ghraib and as difficult to look away from, but shot through with a gallows humor that yields an unflinching comedy of the macabre. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of storytelling forged in the crucible of war., 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 perspective "[A] wonderful collection." --George Saunders, The New York Times Book Review The 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.
