The Iraqi Christ, Paperback/Hassan Blasim

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. The result is a masterclass in metaphor - a new kind of story-telling, forged in the crucible of war, and just as shocking. Winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2014.
