1. The Corpse Washer
Set in Baghdad before and after the U.S. invasion, this intimate first-person narrative follows a young man who takes up his family's trade of washing the dead and records the toll that war, sectarian violence, and personal loss take on his life; with spare, lyrical prose he investigates grief, memory, faith, and the quiet dignity of tending corpses while confronting exile, silence, and the moral costs of survival.
