Description
Widely praised in the Arab world, Sinan Antoon's fourth and most sophisticated novel follows an Iraqi academic, Nameer, who meets an antiquarian bookseller, Wadood, in a Baghdad market. Nameer becomes captivated by Wadood's obsession with cataloging everything that the 2003 invasion of their country destroyed, minute by minute, piece by piece.
