| SPECIAL BOOK REVIEW |

 “Zabibah
and the King,” by Saddam Hussein
Here’s one first novel that doesn’t seem
like it was excreted from the same postmodernist
neo-deconstructivist meat grinder and, if my suspicions are
correct, Hussein (he’s also the President of Iraq, it says on the dustcover)
will sell this potboiler to Hollywood for many Dinars.
It’s only too bad Adolph Menjou isn’t around, for here’s a role perfectly
suited for him: a president of a mythical country called "Irok" who falls in
love with a beautiful young Shiite (think Natalie Wood), with the backdrop to
this May-December romance the relentless shelling from “cruel and Godless
oppressors from the West,” in the author’s own words.
Advice: take this one to the beach this summer and beat the crowd.
(Reviewed by Massoud Barzani, leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party) |
