His inventive stories are a phantasmagoric glimpse into Iraqi life before and after the US/UK-led invasion and occupation.

(full disclosure - I work for Blasim's UK publisher).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529766850856710047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407679229975998493.post-966231832710278242014-06-16T14:35:14.984-06:002014-06-16T14:35:14.984-06:00One collection that I'm curious to check out i...One collection that I'm curious to check out is Marine Park, by Mark Chiusano.
