IRAQ+100: STORIES FROM A CENTURY AFTER THE INVASION

Book ID/图书代码： 03240317B00001

English Summary/英文概要： Iraq + 100 poses a question to ten Iraqi writers: what might your country look like in the year 2103 a century after the disastrous American- and British-led invasion, and 87 years down the line from its current, nightmarish battle for survival? How might the effects of that one intervention reach across a century of repercussions, and shape the lives of ordinary Iraqi citizens, or influence its economy, culture, or politics? Might Iraq have finally escaped the cycle of invasion and violence triggered by 2003 and, if so, what would a new, free Iraq look like? 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 humour that, in itself, offers hope.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《伊拉克的后一百年》向十位伊拉克作家提出了一个问题：在美国和英国领导的灾难性入侵一个世纪后的2103年，或者从现在的角度看，在噩梦般的生存之战开始的87年后，你的国家会是什么样子？这一次干预的后果如何影响一整个世纪？如何形成普通伊拉克公民的日常生活？如何影响了其经济、文化或政治？伊拉克可能最终摆脱了2003年引发的入侵和暴力的循环，如果是这样，一个新的自由的伊拉克会是什么样子？这些故事涵盖了科幻小说、寓言故事和魔幻现实主义的各种方法，利用了未来的空白画布，以平等的方式探索民族的希望和恐惧。在这一过程中，一种新的伊拉克幻想美学开始出现：我们遇到了时间旅行的天使、技术恐惧的独裁者、会说话的雕像、令人毛骨悚然的博物馆世界，甚至是盘旋在空中的老虎机器人，他们一直被一种黑暗的、创造性的幽默所鼓舞，这种幽默却又提供了希望。（YYW）

Editor of the collection Hassan Blasim is an Iraqi writer currently based in Finland. Born in Baghdad in 1973, he studied at the city’s Academy of Cinematic Arts, where two of his films Gardenia (screenplay & director) and White Clay (screenplay) won the Academy’s Festival Award for Best Work in their respective years. In 1998 he left Baghdad for Sulaymaniya (Iraqi Kurdistan), where he continued to make films, including the feature-length drama Wounded Camera, under the pseudonym Ouazad Osman, fearing for his family back in Baghdad under the Hussein dictatorship. In 2004, after years of travelling as a refugee he settled in Finland. Hassan’s stories first appeared on the website iraqstory.com, which he co-edited, and then first in print, with the anthology Madinah (commissioned by Comma Press in 2008). His debut collection The Madman of Freedom Square was published by Comma a year later, 2009 (translated by Jonathan Wright) and was longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2010. His second collection, The Iraqi Christ (again translated by Jonathan Wright) was published by Comma in April 2013, and won the 2014 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize - the first Arabic title and the first short story collection ever to win the award. Hassan’s work has been translated (or is in the process of being translated) into over 22 languages. A heavily censored Arabic edition of Madman was finally published in 2012 and was immediately banned in Jordan, and an Arabic edition of The Iraqi Christ was published in 2015. A selection of stories from both of his two collections were published in the US in 2014, by Penguin USA, under the title ’The Corpse Exhibition’, which was later picked as one of Publishers Weekly’s Top Ten Books of 2014.
