OKAY, WHAT NOW?
Covering a range of approaches from
science fiction, to allegory, to magic
realism these stories use the blank canvas
of the future to explore the nation s hopes
and fears in equal measure. Along the
way a new aesthetic for the Iraqi
fantastical begins to emerge: thus we
meet time-travelling angels, technophobic
dictators, talking statues, macabre
museum-worlds, even hovering tiger-
droids, and all the time buoyed by a dark,
inventive humor that, in itself, offers
hope.
Available on Amazon and Mosaic Rooms.
