I have never given a 1-star rating until now. But this is truly one of the worst books I have ever read and the reasons for this are numerous. The author deserves this low rating for having wasted 8+ hours of my life.Note: I only bought and read this book because it was my book club's pick for the month. Even then, I barely made it through the entire book. I was honestly tempted on several occasions to abandon it completely - it was that painful. The first 50% is akin to plodding through mud mixed with molasses. Numerous times I lost concentration and had to reread many sentences. Like I said - it was painful. It somewhat picks up the pace in the second half, but it is then that you notice how truly bad it is, as the style and plot (or lack thereof) become more noticeable.Firstly, the writing is beyond poor. It has absolutely no soul. It is flat, simplistic, with staccato-like sentences. This "novel" reads more like an accountant's summary report than a novel. Not being able to read it in the original Arab language, I cannot say whether this is due to a (poor) translation or the author's actual lack of any writing talent. But either way, the phrasing is awkward, almost on par with a Google Translate experience. It is full of abrupt cuts and poor transitions. As an example: the protagonist enters a room in a brothel, and in the next paragraph he exits the brothel; no description, no plot development. Another example: he is riding in a car with another character (Nawal), and in the next paragraph, they are in a hotel cafeteria, with no transition or explanation how they got there.Secondly, and more unforgivably, the plot structure itself is a mess. The story D-R-A-G-S in the beginning half, then whisks by in the final 20%, making you feel the author himself got bored with the whole mess, or else was on a tight deadline to his publisher, and just wanted, or was forced, to wind everything up asap. In fact, he was in such a hurry to wrap things up, that he forgot all about the wooden panel that was found behind the Virgin statue at Hadi's place – a plot point touched upon several times, leading one to believe it was something of significance – but I guess not.The author has no notion of time structure: a thread of narrative rambles on into the future, then in the next paragraph/section (again without any transition) jumps back to some previous point.Thirdly, there is zero character development. I've read books where robots had more personality than any of the characters in this book. And purely as an observation, the only women in the book continue to perpetuate the female Arab stereotypes: the stupid, rambling old woman, the whore, the conniving yet guileless businesswoman-whore. Although to be fair, the men are not much more fleshed out…The (I assume) main character, Mahmoud al-Sawadi, would appear to be the alter-ego of the author, Ahmed Saadawi (Mahmoud being a derivation of Ahmed and Sawadi being almost an anagram of Saadawi), and as such gets the most character development. But even then, he remains a bland, unformed creature – not much different at the end of the book from what he was at the beginning.I totally fail to see how it won any, let alone top awards. The only even remotely plausible explanation I can think of is that someone had to have a “token†Arab work in their repertoire, because there can be no other explanation.
A must read. The surreal elements used to convey the politically relevant commentary uniquely brings to light the complexity of a region often viewed stereotypically. This book will leave you thinking. It will leave you wanting someone else you know to read it, so that you can verbally process the profound journey Saadawi took you on.Remember, this novel is translated and a lot is lost in translation. This should not be viewed as the fault of an author or a translator, but rather viewed with appreciation that’s English audiences have a small gateway into Iraqi and Arabic literature. For people less familiar with Iraqi names and those who struggle with numerous characters, there is a handy character list provided at the beginning of the novel with a brief description of who they are!
A wonderfully written and consciously disturbing allegory of violent post Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Mary Shelley’s Creature here stands for global revenge and serves as both the initiator and the victim of on going terror. Victor Frankenstein is equated with his creation and is thus forced to take responsibility. Still, this book is far from the quote from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein it opens with; in itself it forms an innovative, magical-realistic tale.
It has been almost 200 years since Mary Shelley wrote the original classic. Yet, here we stand another retelling of the story of Frankenstein's monster. Mixing the Shelley tale with life in war-torn Iraq makes for a fascinating concept to discuss. Although Saadwai's book starts off slow. It picks up and has really disturbing parts.
For a good time start on page 143. That's when the story actually starts. What comes before is a languid, meandering prologue that will make your eyes roll back in your head. The story comes together when Frankenstein's narrative starts. Up to that point, it's just a mess of what feel like random characters, some of whom are relevant at the end of the story, some of whom are not.There are craft issues with head hopping and weird, confusing scene transitions that don't clear up until right around page 143. It's like the first half or so is a first draft and the last half or so is a tightly plotted spec fic thriller. The book has two personalities that way. I like the idea suggested in another review that the story is meant to mirror Frankenstein's haphazard construction...but that's a really romanticized way to look at bad story structure.Anyway, the main thrust of the story is to question who is innocent and who is guilty through the lens of a Frankenstein. Who really is responsible for violence? Does anyone have clean hands? At the end there's an interesting conceptual switcheroo of who's good and who's evil.I'm glad I read the book,it has interesting ideas, but it was a long, punishing slog. Still, the story is an important piece of speculative fiction, although it might be better to wait for the movie...which I hope there will be one. A film would allow for the opportunity to correct issues with story pacing and clarity and let it shine the way it should because it really is a gem.
I was really intrigued to read this, and thought it had an absolutely amazing concept. It does, but then it doesn't really seem to know what to do with it. It splits its POV through multiple characters, seemingly mostly for the sake of taking up space. It does a lot of interesting worldbuilding, but then doesn't really fulfill its own promise.
A Baghdad junk dealer sews together pieces and parts of the innocent dead to create a monster. The monster know as Whatsitsname exacts revenge on the perpetrators of the parts he is made of. But, the junk dealer has a problem of fabrication and credibility. So, is the monster real or urban legend?
This novel was not as interesting as I expected given that is is a finalist for the Booker Prize. Saadawi has an intereting idea but the book itself did not hold my attention. It's an ok read.
